The CHP patrols regions of Sacramento County and indeed does use radar.
I’ve seen a CHP car setup (with radar) and two motorcycles (to chase the
speeder down) many times.
Within the CITY of Sacramento, the police department uses radar as well.
I’ve only seen motorcycle officers with radar.
Over the summer I’ve been living in the bay area (Saratoga) and am constantly
seeing city police using radar (especially in Cupertino, along Homestead
between the Lawerence Expressway and Wolfe).
