It's not a law. There is no law. The language is wishy-washy in that CHP handbook because there is no law to refer to; it really is just the opinion of whoever wrote that text in the handbook. And it remains the opinion of each particular officer, which can make things weird at times. I'm OK with current state, as it's likely better for us that it's not legislated than if there were additional restrictions put on it. Or worse, just an outright ban like the other 49 states...
