I was watching Season 2, and I noticed that Jon has a night stick/club but Ponch doesn't. Anyone know if there's a reason for this? I thought they would both have one. There was one episode where both of them having the stick would have been very useful. It was the episode where the kid falls into the water from his motorcycle.
@phillydisco - Back in the 70s and 80s they did not trust Hispanics with night sticks/clubs. The belief was they could not be trusted. Also, they had the tendency to use the clubs on Pinatas during work time. This policy was removed in the 90s duie to immigration, and the liberalization of labor laws.
I read that the first season Ponch was on probation and Jon was keeping an eye on him, and that's why they ride tandem, even though the CHP doesn't do that in real life. But they kept it going for the show, so I think the club represented Jon's seniority.
I just watched the episode where the teen got infatuated with Jon. I don't know how Jon held back, she was stacked! :)
@OjaiRoy - Yes! TV execs didn't think audiences would be comfortable with a Hispanic wielding a baton/club/nightstick. Of course, they were wrong, but that's what they believed at the time.
@FasterThanYou321 That's funny. I reminds me of the controversy over having Wesley Snipes holding a gun in a poster for, I think it was, New Jack City. There was outrage, and yet when one of the Bond guys holds one, nobody cared.
@phillydisco - Well, Wesley Snipes is different. It's ridiculous to be concerned about a Hispanic (Erik Estrada) holding a weapon, but based on the level of black-on-black murder in Chicago and elsewhere, I feel it is culturally insensitive to show a movie poster of a Black man (Snipes) with a weapon. Instead of having him hold a weapon, they should have airbrushed in something nuetral, like a balloon or something. A Black is a whole different thing than a Hispanic.

@OjaiRoy I can't remember the episode name, so I can't look her up. She did appear in some well known films in the 80s. I wish I could remember them.
