  [A real nice and well compiled article deleted]

  The only point I am trying to make, is that no matter what you put
  on your car for RAM, there is enough cross-section of non-RAM
  material left on it to give a good radar reading.  You can't
  radar-proof it using RAM.  You will definitely reduce the chances of
  getting detected, (since the radar system will only register the
  largest echo) and give you more time to slow down. Now, if you were
  planning to bomb/shoot/destroy the police car in question, you would
  definately be more successful than if didn't have RAM. This,
  incidently, is the principle of operation of the Stealth aircraft.
  Conventional aircraft radar *can* detect the Stealth at 37 miles,
  as opposed to normal aircraft at about 250-300 miles.

  Talking about the chameleon type spikes, yes, I was talking about
  the chamber material.  It combines RAM with obtuse angle deflection.

  About the Chez's new radar, I don't have any details, only what they
  talked on BBC and later on NPR. 

  Thank you for a nice article, and taking so much time to type it in.
