Seems to me that I recall hearing a story about a guy who built himself such a
beast (wish I could add details, but it was a 3rd or 4th-hand story).  One day
he gets pulled over in a school zone for speeding.  "Clocked you going 55 in
the school zone", says the cop.  Well, he started to protest violently (he
*KNEW* he was only doing 20!), but then shut up and took the ticket.  You see,
he realized that he was screwed: he had accidently flipped on his "jammer", set
to say he was doing 55...
