>From a purely practical point of view, it is not too difficult to build a dirty
noise jammer for police radar.  Dirty here meaning you are not only going to
target the police, but anything operating in the spectrum in & around the radar.
This could cause all sorts of problems with all of things that set radar
detectors off:  alarm systems, automatic doors, etc.

>From a legal point of view I think transmitting in that portion of the spectrum
(depending on radar type and locale) is normally prohibited without a license.
Before someone jumps in and says "but a low power transmitter is exempt under
FCC reg xyz"  I would submit that transmitting for the express purpose of
preventing an officer of the court from performing his legal duties probably
doesn't come under that exemption.  You're also looking at a FEDERAL reg, not
the local police;  you've upped the ante and the potential fine considerably.
