I had an article about jamming police radar (I know, I know, it's not about LASER jammers, but it's cool) with a device that you could make from simple bits from any Radio Shack, and one part that had to be special ordered. The article said that the unit should be put in front, behind the grille (unless the grille was metal), and it sent out radar signals that would jam a police radar. I don't know which band this might have been, or if it actually worked, since I lost the article before I got to build the device. They also said that when driving past large highway signs, the jammer would send out signals that bounced off of these signs and would set off any detector in the area, and people around you would stomp on the brakes. Could be pretty entertaining as well as helpful around the po-po.
