It's true.  Read a report in a recent copy of the San Bernardino Sun Telegram 
newspaper.  They're using it along a small section of I-15 just before the NV border 
which has a particularly high accident rate.  It's experimental, but if the accident 
rate goes down significantly because of it....

The CHP does use radar units in locales where the units are donated to them.  The local 
Lions Club in Wrightwood bought a unit and donated it to the CHP to use on Lone Pine 
Canyon Road.
