Should I write a book on this subject?
Would anyone pay money for such a thing?
Here's another:
Easy way to defeat radar-based tickets!
--------------------------------------
1) Demand that the radar unit used to trap you
be brought into court. (You are within
your right to supeona the radar unit.)
2) You bring a battery and a CB radio.
2a) Just for luck, the battery in
question should NOT be set on
concrete, but I don't want to
start THAT thread AGAIN...
3) Hook both the CB and the radar up to the
battery, and ask the officer to measure
the speed of the courtroom wall.
4) While he presses his button, you key the
microphone on the CB radio, thus transmitting
through the antenna (did I mention that you
also need an antenna?)
5) The results will be devastating - the wall of
the courtroom (stationary in all jurisdictions)
will register at a speed of 20 - 30 MPH on the
radar. (The reason is that the close proximity
of the RFI produced by the CB screws up the
radar in ways that only an engineer would love).
6) Submit to the court that a CB radio was being
used by another car at the time of the supposed
violation, thus messing up the radar gun in
a similar manner.
7) Smile at the outraged screams of agony and cries of
"foul play" by the officer and/or prosecutor, and
ask the judge to dismiss, since much more than
"reasonable doubt" has been shown by the defense.
...next week, adapting anti-radar ECM electronic warfare units
from scrapped Phantom figther jets to fit into your Healey 3000,
and how to build carbon-fibre composite "stealth" body panels for
your Jaguar XKE.
What smells so bad? Perhaps it is the New World Odor everyone talks about.
