At the risk of sounding somewhat too technical, California
Highway Patrolmen are not called troopers. They are officers. I know of no California law
enforcement agency which uses the term “trooper” to describe field employees,
certainly not the CHP. The small state police force could
be so titled but I doubt it. Could this be explained by the
fact that the source is from the UK? Don’t know.
Did the officer use the last of his pepper spray on his
lunch time tacos?
California State Police were merged into the CHP a few years aback.
CHP wasn’t happy about it.
