Top this for a speeding ticket...
Isn't it nice to know that they're on our side?
Two California Highway
Patrol Officers were conducting speeding enforcement on
I-15 near MCAS Miramar. One of the officers was using a
hand held radar device to check speeding vehicles
approaching near the crest of a hill. The officers were
suddenly surprised when the radar gun began reading 300
miles per hour. The officer attempted to reset the radar
gun, but it would not reset and turned off.
Just then a deafening roar over the treetops revealed
that the radar had in fact locked onto a USMC F/A-18 Hornet
which was engaged in a low flying exercise near the
location.
Back at the CHP Headquarters the Patrol Captain fired
off a complaint to the USMC Base Commander.
Back came a reply in true USMC style: Thank you for the
message, which allows us to complete the file on this
incident. You may be interested to know that the tactical
computer in the Hornet had detected the presence of, and
subsequently locked onto, your hostile radar equipment and
automatically sent a jamming signal back to it.
Furthermore, an air to ground missile aboard the fully
armed aircraft had also automatically locked onto your
equipment. Fortunately the Marine Pilot flying the Hornet
recognized the situation for what it was, quickly responded
to the missile system alert status and was able to override
the automated defense system before the missile was
launched and your hostile radar was destroyed. Thank you
for your concerns.

ahaha thats so bad ***, it could be real, but he may have just been joking about some of the stuff, and I wouldnt be suprised if the jamming equiptment was real and really did jam his radar gun by making it read max. Reguardless, its funny as hell.
if it was being jammed it gets an err message, and the guns won't register a flying plane (we had them at the airport, and when the f/18's took off it would go err, same with commercial planes)
Since most radar units won't read past a 1/2 mile away, even lidar guns only reach about 3/4 mile I can probably ensure that its not true. Even if it did pick it up by the time it did the plane would have already flown over them.
