A member of a Spanish or Latin American military police or border patrol force; a carabineer.
From Spanish 'carabinero,' derived from 'carabina' (carbine), indicating a soldier armed with that weapon; '-ero' is the Spanish suffix for occupation.
Spain's Guardia Civil and Chile's Carabineros are famous paramilitary forces—they patrol borders and enforce laws with a quasi-military structure unlike regular police!
