     I have seen plans for building such a thing, however it can't work
through the stereo or CB. It requires a fairly expensive microwave diode
and a small horn for transmission. It was designed to be used in 
conjunction with a detector. If the detector was triggered by a rader
transmission, it would trigger the jammer automatically. 
     One other thing, I believe that such a device is illegal. You 
wouldn't be able to hide it very effectively either. As soon as the police
officer's rader unit went wild, he would know that he had been zapped and
would start looking for the culprit.
