I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be

I agree. As a taxpayer (of outrageous NJ taxes), I'd have no problem seeing such a story in my local news. Maybe it's me next time. It's a shame that public servants (or anyone) need to worry about repercussions from doing the right thing.

It did not say that the CHP towed it. A commercial unit did. It did not say that it was at public expense.
I read it and when I read it I assumed "Commercial Unit" Meant a Tow Truck of the size often used to tow semi tractors and the like.
HOWEVER due to the angle from which the photograph was taken it APPEARS the Departmental Vehicle is towing it.. Bad case of optical illusion I gather.. I know that back when I told cops where to go for a living I'd have called a proper size tow truck to tow it. Our vehicles, for the most part (bomb squad is an exception) did not tow.

It is a commercial CHP (taxpayers) pickup in the photo doing the people a favor. Good for the officer, hope he doesn't get a reprimand.
