	You might be interested to know that the California
State Patrol has recently advised that all vehicles be equiped
with radar detectors.  Their logic is that since radar detectors
are effective at greater-than-line-of-sight distances, a radar
equipped patrol car can effectively slow down a much larger
area if he is depending on being seen.  They further reason that
since the primary purpose of a patrol car is to promote safe
driving, not catch speeders, it is to their advantage for all
individuals to own and use a radar detector.
