Almost sounds like it's time for a reposting of the Hitchhikers Guide
to Radar Jamming!

Not to dampen anybodys ire that says that only speeders and potential
speeders need radar detectors, but read the 1980 articles on Radar
Range in Car and Driver.  That White Freightliner 7000 feet back doing
68 could have been the source of your last speeding ticket, that is, if
you were in a Honda Civic only 400 feet from the radar unit. 400 vs 7000
feet?!?!?!?!  YEP!!!  Try to see how many local small town cops understand
the box they're using.  I got a ticket my first week in Texas for 78MPH.  
I was on my Honda CBX on I-30.  I know for a FACT the reading was in error
and that the cop probably got the Coors truck I blew past about 1/4 mile
back.  Sure, the error was in my favor.......... This time!
