I am sure that a low enough power transmitter is legal on those bands.
The key is interference.  It is also legal to swing your fist.  The
key again, is interference.  The FCC requires accidental interference
to be eliminated, intentional interference is prosecuted.  I don't
think that an X or K band transmitter in an automobile looks very
innocent.  You would lose in court if you were caught using it in the
vicinity of police radar.

Odds are you can get away with it.  However, if many people had
them you would soon see arrests with some big fines and some jail
time.  Don't fool with the feds on this.
