It'd be tough. First a cop would have to have PC to tear apart a car and
that isn't going to happen just because an officer didn't get a reading
on his radar. Even without a jammer, radars sometimes just stay blank
for a few seconds. Second, the cop would have to have some ECM detection
circuit which, though rumored to be on some guns, is non-existant. What
some have is an "EMI" light. EMI=Electromagnetic Interference which
could be anything, HAM gear, power lines, etc. Second, you aren't
interfering with the officers duty, he can still see you and his gun is
FCC type accepted which means it must accept any interference and not
interfere with other equipment. What this boils down to is that cops do
not have a god given right to X/K/Ka. Unless your stupid enough to admit
to the officer that you have a jammer, there ain't much he can do other
than complain to the FCC which won't do squat. They wouldn't even come
out to my county and track down
people getting on the Law Enforcement repeater and yelling racial stuff
on it. A group of us local DX'ers and HAM's are the one's who tracked
them down. So if the FCC won't do anything for something that serious,
imagine what they'll say when some cop says his radar was jammed? Now,
don't go thinking that if you build one you can blast by a cop at 100 in
a 45 and not get stopped. He/She may not know you're exact speed, but
you can still get a reckless driving ticket solely on the officers
observation. All jammers do is buy you time in traps.
