You can avoid the problem of transmitting in the police bands -- which is
definitely a no-no -- by being a licensed ham and transmitting in one of
the nearby ham microwave bands.  Most police radars are not very selective,
and will probably take the ham-band signal as a valid radar return.

Unfortunately, it's probably still illegal, under "interfering with police
officers doing their duty" laws.
