Forgive me, but doesn't radar work by sending a signal and then measuring the signal's return? Why doesn't someone just invent something that will just absorb all the signal sent to it, instead of trying to send a false signal back? That way the radar would just get no signal.

There are a few cars that come stealth from the factory. One of them is the firebird. When the headlights are in the down position, there is no flat piece on the car to reflect it. Car and Driver proved it a few years ago.

In this test, there was no vette. They were testing radar/laser jammers. The discovered that the firebird did not need either one; as long as the lights were down.

When I was in traffic school they talked about the jammers. They do work, but what happens is that the radar gun will get a completely wrong reading or errors. It makes it so obvious to the cop that your using something though.

To get a jammer to be effective you would need it to radiate so much power that everyone around you would know you were up to something. Jammer pods on military aircraft put out so much EMI they screw up electronic devices of all sorts, plus they get so hot (temperature and radiation) they are hazardous to your health.

Unless you can make your S2k look like this:





you are pretty much getting clocked no matter what.
