Ah from a Snopes forum:


Back when I heard it, it was along the lines of: If you ever get pulled over by a CHiP, just say to him "KA4993" and he'll probably ask you "who & where?" Then you just make up a name, relationship and location on the other end of the state (ie: if you're pulled over in Sacramento, you say "Bill Anderson, he's my first cousin, works in Riverside." If you're in San Diego, you say this cousin works out of Eureka or Redding.) Then, based on the offense, if there is any way the guy who pulled you over can "give you a break," he'll do it.

Yep, more precisely, it is the FCC transmitter license issued to the CHP. Mine starts with W7.
