I think what you saw was a strobe light that was flashing. It has nothing to do with the mechanics, only the image. It appears that the CHP feels that when you see someone getting a ticket you speed up since you regard that officer as otherwise engaged. When you see a CHP with his radar gun cocked, everyone slows down. He doesn't even have to turn it on to be effective. In fact if he leaves it off, it enforcesthe image of steal technology that can't be detected by radar detectors.
