I read a few years back in the Anarchists Cookbook that installing a motion sensor (like the one used to open sliding doors at malls & supermarkets) can actually fool a radar gun and give it a false reading like all 0's or all 9's.

It is much more effective than having a radar detector because when the radar detector receives the reading from the gun, its already too late, your being tracted.

Since the motion sensor sends out its own radar signals, it can severely mess up a reading on a radar gun.

I wanted to see if anyone has ever had this type of mod on their S?

 

No, it is not more effective, it could also be considered a radar jamming device, which is illegal in all 50 states, while radar detectors aren't.

A good radar detector gives you a ton of time to slow down, provided you aren't hit with POP.

 

That is so wrong I don't know where to begin. Motion sensors read IR and don't project anything. The AAC is a useless document. Radar scatters. A good detector will pick it up long before it hits you. Laser on the other hand scatters maybe 10% of the time and requires a jammer.

 

Yeah they project something.....

A quote from this link

http://www.nwrfca.org/faq/jammers.htm

"The "intelligent" jammers focus all their power on the exact frequency needed at the time. Since the transmitter's power is below FCC-established limits, designers/manufacturers say that their active jammers are FCC-legal. Although radar guns use the X- and K-bands, the FCC also allows general public and private use of these bands; for example, supermarket self-opening doors and burglar alarm motion detectors operate on these frequencies. The FCC controls and regulates the use of electrical devices that emit beyond a certain power threshold (500 microvolts/meter @ 3 meters, roughly equivalent to 30mw at the device), and the legal jammers stay at or below that threshold,"

Sorry, but you've been schooled.....

 

ok...to answer your question again, no one uses this on their S

when they are a little cheaper and crackheads can afford them, i'm sure they will update us with using a motion sensor instead of a real radar detector

 

I was proving that they projected a radar frequency. Sure there are probably better radar detectors now. But there are probably better sensors now also....That write up was done more than a decade ago. How do you know no one has tried this on their S? Are you speaking for everyone? Don't think so......

 

While I can't say if anybody has done it, I bet you'd piss everybody off driving down the road like that. You'd be setting off the radar detectors of everyone around you...

 

Most people here don't do stuff that is that ghetto, I bet ~95% of people here would second that motion.

 

Yeah, when they found out about it in the 90's and installed the sensor, it's radar pings reflected off of steel framed bridges, and anyone with a radar detector would have read it.

 

Why don't you take a poll then.....The "sensor jammer" is something barely anyone knows about.....

I'm just educating and seeing if anyone knows or has installed it on their S.

So quit hating.....Or is that something you like to do on these boards?
