The CHP trains its motor officers to find the "friction zone" and (tada) use the rear brake while negotiating turns. It makes the bike "behave" as though it is going much faster allowing those incredible tight u-turns and cone weaves.

But, again, this is all academic. Perhaps the CHP has something to learn from the MSF.
Alex is right on this, for tight spaces at parking lot speeds, rear brake is alright... but that's an entirely different scenario altogether.
