I was stopped by the police on my way to a flying lesson. The copper
ended his (cheery) lecture by saying "Mr. Doppler is never wrong!"

I told this to my flight instructor, formerly an engineer. He said:
"That would be true only if Doppler callibrated the instrument."

Yup, and there is the 60mph bank, where every time the radar gun is at a
certain spot the bank registers at 60 mph... microwave motion detector at
the bank leaking radiation that mixes with the gun's frequency to produce
the spoofed reading
Oh, the officer will tell you that can't be... Ask him, what do you think
that the ECM box on an F 14/15/16/18/22/117 fighter does when an enemy fire
control radar tries to lock on...

As a side note to your comment, When I was an officer on patrol, I
was out by the airport running radar when an F-16 was doing low
approaches. Curiousity got to me so I pulled the radar out of its
mount and got out of the car and pointed it at him. Once he got into
my range (speed or distance, I dont know because it started reading
199 which is the highest it will go) I started clocking him, If I
recall correctly as he was about to execute the missed, he was doing
about 140mph. I sat there for a little while longer to watch him
come back again. I again started tracking him with my radar. My LED
readout then showed JAMMED. I had to laugh as I could just see him
shooting me the bird as he flew by.

There is a story I have read that concerns a couple of english constables on
road patrol near an RAF airbase... As a pair of the base's Tornados in tight
formation, came low along the road, the officers tilted their dash unit and
got a radar speed reading well above the posted limit obviously... On a
lark, one officer drove out to the airbase and asked to speak to the flight
commander... He then advised the officer he wanted to give the pilots a
warning ticket for speeding...
The flight commander laughed and said the pilots had mentioned that they had
a sudden 'radar lock alarm' on their ECM panels, and the only reason the
officer was able to be there was that their ECM Auto Protect was in standby
mode, otherwise he would have gotten a HARM missile (high speed
antiradiation missile) up his ahem radar gun...

Don't know the truth in this story, but it is amusing...
