years ago a friend of mine in the Army who had been an Air force radar countermeasures expert built a radar jammer for me that I could set the speed I wanted the cops radar gun to say. it was totally illegal because it actually transmitted a stronger pulse at the Doppler shift of the speed I wanted. worked flawlessly.
it was big one of those roof top storage containers big. radar detects the Doppler shift of the radar beam aimed at the car the frequency of that shift is known. when the radar is detected (pulse received) it transmitted a stronger pulse at the Doppler shift for that speed, that pulse overrode the actual reflected pulse indicating the desired speed. weighed a couple hundred pounds.
I haven't seen him since 93. I have heard rumors he's building a active stealth system that can make a B-52 disappear, I've heard they made a B-52 disappear from air traffic control radars multiple times. apparently it pisses ATC off.
I answered no to that question once and actually had the cop say, "neither do I, my speedometer doesn't go up that high". He had been pacing me in an unmarked car. He gave me a 20 MPH over the speed limit warning ticket.
I'd like to tell you that blocking yourself from revenue generators for the government is not evil. Speeding fines do not increase public safety. They generate government revenue.
Actually, in Michigan, speeding is a non-criminal offense (classified by MCL 761, "Crime means"), as it classified as a "civil infraction". Ergo, no cop has the probable cause necessary to arrest anyone for merely exceeding the posted speed limit. Statutes do not trump the constitution.
@@g.v.harvey7425 i do respesct your opinion, but your opinion is subjective. Do you really believe that the police are out there to write tickets in order to create revenue? Ill admit, more than likely there are some out there who do infact require quotas to create revenue. That being said...its not illegal. The moral debate is another story. Common sense will tell you that simple basic laws regarding diving are being broken regularly on a daily basis. If a quota needs to be met, right, wrong, or indifferent, it doesnt change the fact that a law was broken. Quotas or not, if you break the driving laws, then are pulled over and issued a citation (for a legite reason) simply qccept it (assuming the officer is correct and you are not a liar) and fight another day(

Raymond J not really any tips beyond the electronics. Even alot of electronics don't work anymore. And they're not foolproof. Cops don't turn radars on until they see you anymore so it wont detect.
He was simply explaining in simple terms the progression of highway speed control devices and the frequency names they worked on over the years whether it be considered they worked on what you might call sound or light. Y’all should listen in school or if you’re like me, start searching and learning after school!
For anyone curious. The ultimate countermeasure setup is a Uniden R1 or R3 radar detector and AntiLaser Priority laser jammers with 5 heads(3 front 2 rear). There is no surface treatment in the world proven to be effective against police radar/laser.
Laser is beatable , radar is not. Since laser deals with visual light, jammers send an IR signal out that confuses the laser gun, but you start messing with radar, you're gonna have the fcc on your ass, vs FDA for laser (yep , food and drugs admin)

In Aug of 1991, I and a good friend were being stationed in Washington state from the east coast. We left Virginia and three days later we pulled into our new base. We used the Tec if the day (radar detector ) binoculars and a CB / ham radio along with a pre-programmed scanner to run 115 for three straight days to get there on time. We managed to boil the transmision in SD with the thinning air and long flat ground slowing us to run up to 119 the point just before the govner would cut the throttle on the Z24 we were running in. That is when we figured out 115 and below was the magic number for not boiling the transmission. Some of the best days of my life.
That's Fukn hilarious! Tht reminds me of when I used to hall ass from Bragg to Connecticut on Friday it's a 13 hr ride but made it in 8-9 hrs than do the samething back Sunday night to make it for formation Monday morning! Those were the days for me also!
The '98 to '04 Camaro was surprisingly low profile to radar with the long sloping curved steel hood that covered all in front. You had to be very close for them to see you, and by that time, you had seen them and slowed to under the limit.

The Cobra Daytona Coupe replicas currently being sold have a low frontal area and a body of compound curves. The aluminum body version (Kirkham) is more reflective but body shape diffuses radar . The fiberglass reinforced plastic bodies (Superformance, Factory Five)are nearly transparent to radar so the radar detects the radiator, engine & etc. If one were made with energy absorbing graphite fiber reinforced plastic it should be able to get a lot closer before being detected. It would help to register in a state with no front license plate and install daytime covers on the headlights and fog lights.
Yes, this is why Corvettes weren't more invisible to radar. The radiator, the core support, and the front of the frame had many reflective surfaces that were just visually hidden behind fiberglass.
Looks well placed... don't think it would be much of an issue. I think the issue would be getting pulled over for having your vision blocked! A ticket or being pulled over for having too many gadgets attached to your windshield... or getting pulled over in a smaller town by the Sheriff asking you: "what are you doing with all that crap boy!?!?"
I know people have basic rador/laser countermeasures when doing the cannonball but I didn't even think about the fact that in different states and counties, the frequencies for the transponders would be different. That is one hell of a tough job for a single run.
I don't know why but I love dry story telling and find it extremely interesting. I could tell the dude was extremely nervous but he seems to know his stuff, I look forward to more information. I always have wondered about electronic countermeasures for your personal vehicle he seems to bring clarity to the issue. I have read about devices in Europe that let you know when certain frequencies are being used in you vicinity but have never heard if it has become available on the US market yet.
I know this video is old, but I've basically stopped using my Uniden scanner and switched it out for an SDR, that way I can program a bunch of frequencies and listen to what I need to. I find it easier to use and a lot more powerful. I'd check it out if you already haven't. But, Thanks for the video!
I forgot to mention that there's also plugins/programs that allow you to listen to the digital radios, like the Motorola X2, P25 codecs and more. Easy enough to put on a laptop and drive around (not that I've done that: >:D ) The waterfall view is excellent so you can see what frequencies are utilized. I'm sure you guys will have fun and I hope to see you guys make another run with some upgraded tech like that. Should make it easier for you all not to program 1000 frequencies into the Uniden. Once again, thanks for all your content and entertainment. I very much enjoy my dose of Vinwiki each day. If you guys have any questions with SDR or something I can help with (Software engineer by day, hardware hacker by night!), please feel free to reach out.
@@un_civilized never looked into it, but I'd wait at a busy intersection near a hospital, with an IR sensor and SDR, you're going to have to play around to see what is sent and which frequency. You'd might blips on the SDR if it's digital, which would be binary data. From there, you'd have to reverse engineer the data being sent. If it's just IR or a radio signal, then you would just have to find the right frequency and light spectrum.
Before Elogs. Truckers we're consistently running California to NYC in 72 hrs. Now we can still do that but there's 2 people in a truck. So breaking the Cannonball is a FEET And God Bless You for it.
Waze can make it so much easier now. I drove from Detroit to Tennessee a couple of months back in 41/2 hours using it and never had a cop not listed on there. Only ones you gotta worry about is cops who have just entered the interstate.
I think motorways or highways should have no speed limit. Like the autobahn. And if you drive slow you should get a ticket because they are the ones that cause accidents.
People would have no desire to do things like this if police were honest. Also if you do not understand what I mean, it is when they write you up for going much faster than you are actually traveling because they do not know the difference between a sliver and a red vehicle. etc.
Great video. love the channel, but i do have a gripe about the extreme experience plug at the end. I've done it. It was fun as hell, and their rite; there is no speed limit but there is a professional driver in the passenger seat telling you how fast you can and cant go. So just keep that in mind if you want to do the extreme experience.
If clocked with radar and stopped, ask to see the license for the unit, and the operator's certification. If out of date or unlicensed/certified, this can be brought up in court, likely resulting in a dismissal.
I have a suspicion my old yellow '73 Nova went under the radar. The reason I say this is, I've gone 25-30mph over the speed limit passed cops many times, and not once has one ever pulled out. That by itself didn't convince me. What did, was that every time I'd go passed those signs on the side of the road that read your cars speed, they would never read my car until I was litterally right on top of them, and they'd always read 10-20mph lower than I was actually going. I never figured out why this happened, but it was cool.
Back in the 80's & 90's my father was a defense engineer that worked on missile guidance & tracking systems. One time I asked him if he could make something so a car couldn't be tracked to get a speed on radar. He said "The systems the police use are really crude, it would be easy to defeat those." I begged him to make something. I told him it would make us rich but he was totally clueless to the market. He didn't think anyone would want to defeat police radar. I have no clue how that stuff works but it would have been interesting to see if dear old dad could have put something together.
It was also very illegal, with the charges being federal, not state traffic laws. Back in the '70s and '80s, the easiest way was to get a used radar gun, grab the Gunn diode and antenna, modulate it with a 555, and set the speed you needed the police radar to see. Electronic surplus shops had such used junk guns around cheap and made it easy.
Yo, just have to say, as an artist, I heard once, from Art Guerra, of Guerra Pigments, that he *actually* sourced black, radar absorbing pigments, (obviously for artists, who just love shit to be unreasonably crazy,) but you know, stuff like what was used for the F117 and the B2.... It's been years since I've checked their stock, but if they still have it, (which is very possible, since it cost like, an order of magnitude more than something that "looked" just as black, but Art liked to have weird pigments in stock just to have them,) seems like the kind of thing that would be perfect for these kind of endeavors.
Made it from Columbus Ohio to California border in a Class C RV 1988 Toyota Oddeyesy total time 53 hrs with 3, 3hr breaks. Total average speed of the whole trip was 45mph. My best recommendation is to travel at night, carry extra fuel, always top off the most amount of fuel, every stop you make, make it less than 10minutes.
I've tinkered with Jammers back in the 90's. Have not tried much in the past 20 years. I would be willing to assist in tweaking some of your old tech and creating something new that could be placed on some form or market or sold as a "build yourself" breadboard kit. I'm also a GA Road goer who think the speed limit is just a suggestion. Personal best without a ticket is 205mph.
so, you had this powder that was at least optically opaque to the laser, and it stopped working after a week or two ? was it applied with some clear coat ? interesting, I did some research into the same concept for radar, vary concentrations of metal particles layered in a rubber matrix seems to work, it is also applied to stealth submarines and the retired Lockheed SR-71 spy plane, there actually quite a few different approaches using particles and insulators in combination that can be tuned to certain frequencies, a lot of work has gone into this, I have some of the papers on it.
All the best technology is great until the operator forgets... in 1979 a friend of mine in Salt Lake City had a jammer that broadcast 34 mph or 54 mph (the National Speed Limit was 55 mph in those days.). His girlfriend was driving his car one afternoon and came down off the freeway onto a 35 mph surface street. The first cop she saw flipped his lights on and pulled her over. She managed to stuff that thing under the seat, said "yes sir" a lot, signed the ticket, and drove home with smoke pouring out of both front windows as she was just fuming!! He did his best not to laugh as she told him about forgetting to flip the machine back to 34 mph as she came in to town. He said it took a while before she could talk about it without get irritated. ;^)
I was doing 120+ and got lit up by a State Trooper hiding in the median. It took him so long to catch up that I was able to hit the joint I was smoking a couple of more times. Evidently he could not get a lock because he gave me a lecture about doing 86mph. He was particularly offended by my T-tops being out "a sure way to get ejected" he said. A bunch of "Yes sir, sorry sir" got it down to a warning.
emergency vehicles use strobe lights to control trafic lights, but even then sometimes trafic lights use mechanical relays, so take time to change lights..
I’ve been wondering if certain cars are less visible to radar and lasers. I have a Black 2012 VW CC and commute between 85-90 mph over 130 miles per day and so far haven’t had any issues. Could this be the car?
Ok here is a story: One time late at night around 2:00 am I was about 110 miles from home. I was tired and wanted to get home Quick so I averaged about 95 miles an hour when the speed limit was 55 I made it in record time with no problems . I did not have a radar detector and/or jammer, but slowed down in areas that I knew typically had police presence, had I had one I would have sworn by it. The moral of the story was I was lucky I just happen to pass through at the right time either cop shift change or doughnut run who cares! Counter measures surely help a little on Cannonball runs but in my opinion record runs are due to luck as much as counter measures.
ya i did something similar. went 93 miles in about an hour, in an area where there’s usually a lot of state troopers. no radar detectors, no laser jammers. nearly got pulled over a couple states back but somehow lucked out despite going 91 in a 55 and having out of state plates

I don't know why but I love dry story telling and find it extremely interesting. I could tell the dude was extremely nervous but he seems to know his stuff, I look forward to more information. I always have wondered about electronic countermeasures for your personal vehicle he seems to bring clarity to the issue. I have read about devices in Europe that let you know when certain frequencies are being used in you vicinity but have never heard if it has become available on the US market yet.
I know this video is old, but I've basically stopped using my Uniden scanner and switched it out for an SDR, that way I can program a bunch of frequencies and listen to what I need to. I find it easier to use and a lot more powerful. I'd check it out if you already haven't.
But, Thanks for the video!
I forgot to mention that there's also plugins/programs that allow you to listen to the digital radios, like the Motorola X2, P25 codecs and more. Easy enough to put on a laptop and drive around (not that I've done that: >:D ) The waterfall view is excellent so you can see what frequencies are utilized. I'm sure you guys will have fun and I hope to see you guys make another run with some upgraded tech like that. Should make it easier for you all not to program 1000 frequencies into the Uniden. Once again, thanks for all your content and entertainment. I very much enjoy my dose of Vinwiki each day. If you guys have any questions with SDR or something I can help with (Software engineer by day, hardware hacker by night!), please feel free to reach out.
@@NicholasDeLisi what are your thoughts on the red light changer
@@un_civilized never looked into it, but I'd wait at a busy intersection near a hospital, with an IR sensor and SDR, you're going to have to play around to see what is sent and which frequency. You'd might blips on the SDR if it's digital, which would be binary data. From there, you'd have to reverse engineer the data being sent. If it's just IR or a radio signal, then you would just have to find the right frequency and light spectrum.
did he ever say how you make your car invisible to cops?
Radar detector, radar jammer, fancy paint but not worth it, 3rd party map apps, police scanner.
A bunch of gear and little bit of hopes and dreams.
stephenvaldes no, not really.
Noooo I learned nothing.
Easy solution. Drive a Delorean.
EXACTLY LIKE WTF
Before Elogs. Truckers we're consistently running California to NYC in 72 hrs. Now we can still do that but there's 2 people in a truck. So breaking the Cannonball is a FEET And God Bless You for it.
if it sends back way to high if your doing 100mph and it hit you and sends it back at 200 he will think its broke XD
I need to get one and make it say if I am doing 50 it sends back that I am doing 500 just to fuck with cops.
Conner Mars Or make it in the thousands, 60mph is 60,000mph 😂
most top out at 999 or a lot less
over 9000
Conner Mars goes to court “you were doing 345 in a 65” imagine the price tag on a ticket like that hahaha
0:20 made me genuinely so happy to see this LOVE THAT MOVIR
This man is doing gods work the faster you are the closer you are
This is awesome! These guys weren't fooling around. LOL at "Bacon Blocker" on the printed circuit board!!!!!!! XD
damn "change traffic lights" this man really is lester from GTA5
the fly got me
Waze can make it so much easier now. I drove from Detroit to Tennessee a couple of months back in 41/2 hours using it and never had a cop not listed on there. Only ones you gotta worry about is cops who have just entered the interstate.
A man on a mission and he keeps seeking the next radar thrill Enjoyed the video
This guy is like the sign in back ground he is pure Octane!! Man smart from to word go ..wow just amazing man I could listen to him talk all day
Hold up... you can hack traffic lights? I MUST KNOW
Yes. If fire trucks and shit can do it, you can too
i-Spec it is an infrared device, kind of like a remote control, that triggers the lights to immediately turn yellow and then green.
i-Spec 3m opticom
Looked into it, I believe it's a felony in most states FYI.
Audi_ophile We don't have felonious here in Canada.
The FCC won't let me be, let me speed free
Kind of funny...you could tell there were parts of the story edited out.
Trade secrets!
There's a guy like this that shows up at the Ozark Z car run every year.
I think motorways or highways should have no speed limit. Like the autobahn. And if you drive slow you should get a ticket because they are the ones that cause accidents.
What the hell is thus guys talking about? All i understand is he used a s55 mercedes

Chris chris... HAHAHAHAHA !!! Good answer.. you just made my day :-)
golfzandstance timmy.nicolas fucking same 😂😂
People would have no desire to do things like this if police were honest. Also if you do not understand what I mean, it is when they write you up for going much faster than you are actually traveling because they do not know the difference between a sliver and a red vehicle. etc.
Great video. love the channel, but i do have a gripe about the extreme experience plug at the end. I've done it. It was fun as hell, and their rite; there is no speed limit but there is a professional driver in the passenger seat telling you how fast you can and cant go. So just keep that in mind if you want to do the extreme experience.
If clocked with radar and stopped, ask to see the license for the unit, and the operator's certification. If out of date or unlicensed/certified, this can be brought up in court, likely resulting in a dismissal.
It was basically a mini documentary on him amd his hobby and passion.
I have a suspicion my old yellow '73 Nova went under the radar. The reason I say this is, I've gone 25-30mph over the speed limit passed cops many times, and not once has one ever pulled out. That by itself didn't convince me. What did, was that every time I'd go passed those signs on the side of the road that read your cars speed, they would never read my car until I was litterally right on top of them, and they'd always read 10-20mph lower than I was actually going.
I never figured out why this happened, but it was cool.
Yeah but other than messing with the license plates how do you evade a camera that triangulates your speed based on video frames.
that's awesome that he showed some of the code. Didn't expect that he would have written it in Go
How do you make your car invisible to cops?
"Well, actually we still have no idea, but screw it, we'll put out a video anyway!!"
No idea is a 100% he listed several ways but at the end of the day that last 10% of protection is hope and dreams.
noahsalak hahahahahahahahah
*this dude looks like the bad guy from iron man 3 lol*
Back in the 80's & 90's my father was a defense engineer that worked on missile guidance & tracking systems. One time I asked him if he could make something so a car couldn't be tracked to get a speed on radar. He said "The systems the police use are really crude, it would be easy to defeat those." I begged him to make something. I told him it would make us rich but he was totally clueless to the market. He didn't think anyone would want to defeat police radar.
I have no clue how that stuff works but it would have been interesting to see if dear old dad could have put something together.
It was also very illegal, with the charges being federal, not state traffic laws.
Back in the '70s and '80s, the easiest way was to get a used radar gun, grab the Gunn diode and antenna, modulate it with a 555, and set the speed you needed the police radar to see. Electronic surplus shops had such used junk guns around cheap and made it easy.
Seeing caffeine and octane in the background is dope especially since i help do events with them. This was a good video

Yo, just have to say, as an artist, I heard once, from Art Guerra, of Guerra Pigments, that he *actually* sourced black, radar absorbing pigments, (obviously for artists, who just love shit to be unreasonably crazy,) but you know, stuff like what was used for the F117 and the B2.... It's been years since I've checked their stock, but if they still have it, (which is very possible, since it cost like, an order of magnitude more than something that "looked" just as black, but Art liked to have weird pigments in stock just to have them,) seems like the kind of thing that would be perfect for these kind of endeavors.
so the truth comes out ed... you may be batman but wayne enterprises mad scientist is the real hero.
I hope this is the story about the blacked out Corvette that ran lights out with night vision smuggling!!! Legend
Sounds like we're talking about jets, missiles, and stealth. Lol
Made it from Columbus Ohio to California border in a Class C RV 1988 Toyota Oddeyesy total time 53 hrs with 3, 3hr breaks. Total average speed of the whole trip was 45mph. My best recommendation is to travel at night, carry extra fuel, always top off the most amount of fuel, every stop you make, make it less than 10minutes.
"It worked until i broke it"

I've tinkered with Jammers back in the 90's. Have not tried much in the past 20 years.
I would be willing to assist in tweaking some of your old tech and creating something new that could be placed on some form or market or sold as a "build yourself" breadboard kit.
I'm also a GA Road goer who think the speed limit is just a suggestion.
Personal best without a ticket is 205mph.
Kage Shi
205 mph in what?
so, you had this powder that was at least optically opaque to the laser, and it stopped working after a week or two ? was it applied with some clear coat ? interesting, I did some research into the same concept for radar, vary concentrations of metal particles layered in a rubber matrix seems to work, it is also applied to stealth submarines and the retired Lockheed SR-71 spy plane, there actually quite a few different approaches using particles and insulators in combination that can be tuned to certain frequencies, a lot of work has gone into this, I have some of the papers on it.
What concentrations work best, to your knowledge?
All the best technology is great until the operator forgets... in 1979 a friend of mine in Salt Lake City had a jammer that broadcast 34 mph or 54 mph (the National Speed Limit was 55 mph in those days.). His girlfriend was driving his car one afternoon and came down off the freeway onto a 35 mph surface street. The first cop she saw flipped his lights on and pulled her over. She managed to stuff that thing under the seat, said "yes sir" a lot, signed the ticket, and drove home with smoke pouring out of both front windows as she was just fuming!! He did his best not to laugh as she told him about forgetting to flip the machine back to 34 mph as she came in to town. He said it took a while before she could talk about it without get irritated. ;^)
A video worth watching!
I was doing 120+ and got lit up by a State Trooper hiding in the median. It took him so long to catch up that I was able to hit the joint I was smoking a couple of more times. Evidently he could not get a lock because he gave me a lecture about doing 86mph. He was particularly offended by my T-tops being out "a sure way to get ejected" he said. A bunch of "Yes sir, sorry sir" got it down to a warning.
Wait...what? Can you run that by me again?
I understood nothing he said, but I loved ever minute of it
This guy is basically the Jesse of the VINwiki world. RIP Jesse
emergency vehicles use strobe lights to control trafic lights, but even then sometimes trafic lights use mechanical relays, so take time to change lights..
I’ve been wondering if certain cars are less visible to radar and lasers. I have a Black 2012 VW CC and commute between 85-90 mph over 130 miles per day and so far haven’t had any issues. Could this be the car?
In my opinion my 600 AMG roadster is either invisible or it's so fast they can't catch it. 😎😎😎
I love that MACC ride on your shirt, I did it for the first time this year myself.
What's the difference between "decorator drugs" and "designer drugs?"
This guy would be a champ at burglary and perhaps safe cracking... he certainly would defeat alarm systems np
If we could get him to challenge the Myth Busters crew, we might learn some of DIY hacks that really work.
I like this guy's story :) He knows what he is talking about. Tech for the win \o/
Cool story but title is very misleading...
Many videos on this channel are clickbait
Buccaneer earlier days when there was hub caps I heard you could put aluminum foil balls in there and that would throw the radar detector off
How to make yourself invisible to the cops? Drive a prius 😂
Almost thoguth I was listening to a DEFCON talk for a while here, but hey, it’s VINWiki! How two hobbies cross over is just awesome 😎
What's a good car that radars have trouble tracking Forrest? Asking for a friend lol
813Productions A motorcycle. The smaller the frontal area the better.
that's not a car
TheMilkMan Fine, I'd say a vette might be the best runner up.
So a V8 Swapped Smart fortwo then? Lol
813Productions Well there goes the passenger seat 😂
Ok here is a story: One time late at night around 2:00 am I was about 110 miles from home. I was tired and wanted to get home Quick so I averaged about 95 miles an hour when the speed limit was 55 I made it in record time with no problems . I did not have a radar detector and/or jammer, but slowed down in areas that I knew typically had police presence, had I had one I would have sworn by it. The moral of the story was I was lucky I just happen to pass through at the right time either cop shift change or doughnut run who cares! Counter measures surely help a little on Cannonball runs but in my opinion record runs are due to luck as much as counter measures.
ya i did something similar. went 93 miles in about an hour, in an area where there’s usually a lot of state troopers. no radar detectors, no laser jammers. nearly got pulled over a couple states back but somehow lucked out despite going 91 in a 55 and having out of state plates
"How do you make your car invisible to cops?"
Leave it in your garage.
there should be a long life story warning in the title
