Ben, great podcast. I just finished listening to episode 68. You mentioned the CHP and said they have a policy to give everyone a ticket if they stop you. As a CHP officer I can tell you that is not true. I give warnings all the time.
Keep up the good work. Thanks for all you do for the podcast.
Thanks
Really! That’s awesome. I was told by several CHP Officers in the late 90s that was true. The story goes that some small-town police chief got pulled over and was a jerk. He didn’t get a ticket but threw quite the fit with POST so the then Commissioner just changed the policy that everyone gets a ticket. No more warnings. I’m glad to hear that’s changed.
Thanks so much for listening Robb! I’m honored to have you as a listener.
