CHP Airplane Crash Brings Information About Illegal Alien entries
 

From the National Transportation Safety Board:

This was from an investigation of the CHP airplane that crashed last year, killing the pilot, officer Benavides. the report included several photos and all types of other investagtory media, but this is relative to our agenda

Here are my questions:

Is this along a road or highway on which the Highway Patrol has a beat or is it in the desert quite a distance from a surface road, which is the general domain of other law enforcement agencies?

Was he authorized to conduct such a patrol?



Albeit just several times, I saw a uniformed CHP officer in his patrol car doing daily all day long laps around a residential block on which we were working. I suspect the officer was either checking to see if Sancho had made an incursion into his personal private life area of responsibility or himself moving in on an illicit relationship after the coast was verified to be clear.

Or maybe he had a personal beef against the neighbors and was out to "officially" screw with them.

However it was obvious that for whatever handy rationalization could be presented the officer wasn't out on the road doing his job due to personal reasons.
