Not anymore ... as I remember somewhere in Part 90, if a police department is already licensed under a part 90 frequency for law enforcement necessity, the use of a radar unit permitted without a separate license for it.
At the time, it seemed to me very few law enforcement agencies recognized the requirement for a license for their Radar unit - therefore never got one. I heard of one incident where a knowledgable person challenged the speeding ticket he got because the police agency involved was using an unlicensed radar unit. Went through all of this when I worked as one of the county government radio shops.
