A few years back I was working up on hwy 46 between Paso Robles and Cambria(Earthquake repair on the hwy). I drive a Peterbilt transfer and was stopped at a traffic control flagger. I usually pull off onto the shoulder so the cars can get around me after the flag man lets them go.... Well here comes a CHP along side my truck. I figure this would be a good time to ask a few friendly questions. Reason being was that a week earlier I was going to L.A. (in my car) I always used a detector back then. I saw 5 CHP cruisers the whole trip... Not once did my detector go off! So that's the question I ask this guy.... What gives?! He held up a remote control and said that if a guy is trained right on the radar system and he uses it correctly, you'll probably get a beep on the radar detector and it's all over. No it's not POP tech (im not sure if Calif uses it) . But it just occurs suddenly and he shuts it off so as not to set off detectors down the road. He also told me that most CHP are often lazy and leave the guns on while on the highway. But if they were doing it right they should be able to get you with nary a beep. That was 4 or so yrs ago and I have not carried a detector since then. But what I did get from that CHP was an eye opener as to their procedure. If that helps get you closer to an answer , great... Oh and good luck out there! Go fast on the back country roads not where th man owns the road i.e. THE BIG ROAD Oh and carry a box of dounts for chaff just in case!!!! :P
