Other Ways of Fooling Radar.

["Robinson, Michael/SJC" <mrobinso@ch2m.com>]

Now these are probably old wives tales, but since we are on the subject i
might as well bring them up. 
1)  I once heard from a friend that radar bounces back having to do with
vibrations set out by the transmission.  This made no sense to me then and
makes no sense to me now; but he said by throwing a car into neutral upon
sight of a cop, you can disrupt the radar reading.  I have never tried this,
probably never will, but he said that he had done this succesfully.
Probable just a myth.

2)  This one may be somewhat valid, but still have never tried it.  It must
work only with laser to make sense, but i heard if you flip on your
high-beams while being shot, you can "flood" the light spectrum, thereby
throwing off the reading.  I am not sure how the laser gun takes its
readings but would this work?

Lastly, would it be possible to design a "stealth" vehicle.  I don't care
what the body would look like, it would be really cool to have a car the
cops couldn't shoot.
