I do remember seeing an article in "Radio Electronics" circa 1985 to 1987 that
described a "false target generator" for police RADAR. This project was the 
featured article in the issue and was shown on the cover. In essence it would
allow you to jam a RADAR gun with a signal that would trick the RADAR gun into
saying that you were going a speed of your choice (like 55mph). It was an interesting
project as I recall and only had one expensive component, the GUNN diode
(the microwave source).
