What I don't understand is why the CHP wants everyone to have a radar detector. The CHP does not use radar. Local police use it, but I am pretty sure the state doesn't. From what I understand, the state does not want to make the capital investment. They monitor speed from the air, and also make estimates of your speed. As long as you are going no faster than everyone else, you are all right. Jeff Howe
