Cops less likely to arrest if their shift is about to end

https://www.nber.org/papers/w31985#fromrss

Arrests made near the end of an officer's shift typically require overtime work, and officers respond by reducing arrest frequency but increasing arrest quality. Days in which an officer works a second job after their police shift have higher opportunity cost, also reducing late-shift arrests.

I read the exact opposite not long ago - cops arresting people for anything they can think of at the end of their shift to score overtime hours. I guess it depends on the precincts willingness to pay overtime.

It's published in the NBER which means it's still a working paper.
