Radar Detectors (No LBC)

[Pat.Catchpole@netc.co.uk (Pat Catchpole)]

>From the radio on Monday:
UK Police were using a radar gun to measure motorists' speed when 
they were puzzled to see a reading of over 300 mph. Suddenly, there 
was a mighty roar and an RAF Harrier zoomed overhead at 
not-very-many-feet altitude.
A bit miffed by this, they complained to the RAF who responded that 
they were aware of the incident and were pleased with the outcome 
really, as the Harrier's defence system had locked onto the police 
radar and the automatic air-to-ground retaliation systems had been 
initiated!
