- 12403. Nothing in this chapter shall prohibit any person who is a peace officer, as defined in Chapter 4.5 (commencing with Section 830) of Title 3 of Part 2, from purchasing, possessing, transporting, or using any tear gas or tear gas weapon if the person has satisfactorily completed a course of instruction approved by the Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Training in the use of tear gas.
In summary, law enforcement isn't bound by utilizing these measure only in the interest of self defense.

All that says is that the police can use tear-gas. I'm not disputing that. The section of the law you quoted doesn't exempt police officers from the self defense restriction I quoted.
