White 2006 STi on the side of 101 with a flatbed and 2 chp...what happened?
In San Jose on the side of 101 around 11:45 tonight (9/1). Saw something in this order, from closest to me to front of the line:
white 2006 STi
flatbed tow truck
chp
chp
wtfm8? I don't think the driver was in handcuffs or in the squad car....so maybe the car just broke down?

Umm...the car broken down scenario doesn't require 2 CHP units.
Someone probably either participating in high speed antics or excessive consumption of alcoholic beverages and being stupid.

I'm sure they wrote him up for something. That doesn't mean he didn't break down though. I've had several officers show just for writing me up for a generic ticket. They seriously have nothing to do but plunder the people.

given I saw about 10 chp cars between San Mateo and Gilroy (I fell asleep by gilroy...someone else was driving) they actually could have very well been working in tandem, I did see another pair of squad cars working together before that

I saw two motor cycle CHPs on 880s around Hayward yesterday, they were on the left shoulder lane with radar guns on their hands. It's the first time I see them using a radar gun on the left shoulder EVER!
