What happens

CHiPs is a 2017 American buddy cop action comedy film written and directed by Dax Shepard, based on the 1977–1983 television series of the same name created by Rick Rosner. The film stars Shepard as Officer Jon Baker and Michael Peña as Frank "Ponch" Poncherello, with Rosa Salazar, Adam Brody and Vincent D'Onofrio in supporting roles. Principal photography began on 21 October 2015, in Los Angeles. The film premiered in the TCL Chinese Theatre in Hollywood, Los Angeles on March 20, 2017, and was theatrically released on March 24, by Warner Bros. Pictures. It grossed $26 million against a budget of $25 million, and received negative reviews from critics for its plot and direction. Unlike the original series, the movie was produced without the cooperation of the California Highway Patrol (CHP) and without a license to use CHP logos. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
