There is a trooper who spends his entire shift running radar on one of the main roads on my area. He has several hiding areas and is usually quite busy throughout the day.

But aren't you still dealing with the worst of humanity or a close facsimile of it, in a daily basis

Not even close.
While I was in college I had professors who were current and former police officers/detectives/deputies/ADAs and the stories we heard made it clear what kind of experiences we would likely encounter in the job.
As a driver, what do we encounter that's so bad? A receiving clerk who's got a bad attitude? I am very professional on road so I can usually make good of every situation so it's never a big deal.
The majority of the stress I encounter as a driver comes from preload not having our truck loaded which holds us up in the AM, Dispatch's bright ideas, and management running you around after you're almost done with your run.
At no point am I worried about the possibility of taking a life to protect mine or the life of another's.

Nope, that's just how they do it here in Cali. There are some cities that start a little lower, maybe $65k-$70k.

Some cities get into bidding wars.
Dallas officers are leaving in droves for Fort Worth which pays substantially more.

I'm sort of in a similar position as OP, except that I wear purple. Being a cop was my goal for a while, but it gradually became less and less appealing to me and now I really don't like the idea of being disliked by a lot of people just because of the uniform. Some of the PD applications that I put in before starting at X are picking up and eventually I may have to make a decision.
