The issue of illegal is not normally a state issue (some states do have a
specific law about inteferring with speed measure devices), but a federal
issue. You would be transmitting on a frequency that is restricted to a
specific license. Didn't research the federal penality for this infraction
but would expect it to be severe.
The V stands for VASCAR (Vehicle (some say Visual) Average Speed Computer
and Recorder). Used one for many years when a former PO. People just
couldn't figure out how I was able to clock the one specific vehicle passing
all the trucks and other cars in a group. Also didn't need the stripes on
the road, it can be used with shadows, tar strips and at night reflective
signs. I could clock cars with them in front or behind me travelling in the
same direction or in the opposite direction as I was moving. Also could be
used very effectively while I was stopped with those "painted" stripes.
The other issue is with LADAR (Laser speed measurement devices.) Guess he
also has a pulsed lasar beam emitting from the car to disable the LASER
devices.
