lets say you want to be a chp officer but you cant achieve 20/20 vision with corrective lenses does this mean you can never become an officer? Also if you have a lot of tickets but you have won every single one would this affect you in becoming a CHP officer? like is there any waivers givin for vision???

Here are the minimum requirements:
Age: 20 - 35 years
Vision: For eyeglasses or hard contact lens wearers - 20/40, correctable to 20/20 (successful soft contact lens wearers over the past 12 months are not required to meet an uncorrected standard if corrected vision is 20/20); normal color vision
Education: High School graduate or GED
Citizenship: Must be a US citizen, or be a permanent resident
alien who has applied for citizenship at least one year prior to applying to the CHP. Must be a citizen upon graduation from the Academy.
Background: No felony convictions.
However, having a whole lot of tickets - whether you won or not - will show a lack of maturity or common sense. Judgment is a big part of the job, and speeding, running lights, etc. are all poor judgments.
But, if you can't correct your vision to 20/20 it is moot anyway.
