Never used one myself, although they seem deceptively easy to build.  But for those of us
in the US the penalty is 10yrs in jail and/or $100K in fines for illegal broadcasting.  I think
an active jammer would be easy to detect and see when your pulled over.

And the FCC takes this very seriously.  They have stopped the police in some states from
putting broadcast radars on overpasses/bridges.  Those were being used to keep your detector
running non-stop for miles.

Passive radar evasion on the other hand....  Why do you think the radiator on the LT-1 cars
is tilted back and not at a right-angle with the road?  Why do you think Vette's and F-body's
are almost entirely fiberglass?  I'm sure they didn't build these cars with radar evasion as a 
top priority, but it seems like an awfully nice side-effect.
