Unfortunately it *is* illegal to "interfere with the duty of..." :-(
as well as probably a dozen other "catch-all" laws.  
The bottom line is, detection is already illegal in some places (for RF), 
jamming is definitely not going to fly anywhere -- *if* you get caught.

IMO "stealth" measures are probably the best defense against IR speed
measurement.
