Rocky Mountain Radar responds:
This information was published on Rocky Mountain Radar’s website in response to our challenge, here is their response with Radar Roy’s rebuttal.
We have had many visitors to our website(s) contact Rocky Mountain Radar asking why they have not taken Roy up on his challenge.
| Rocky Mountain Says | “The reward is a sham: first you have to send Radar Roy $5,000; then you have to hire his friend, Carl Fors to run the test $2,500; then you have to pay all of Radar Roy’s and Carl Fors ‘travel expenses’; then you have to agree to let Fors test the units as he wishes to…if one survived all this you get your 5000 back plus the reward (try to collect!) and you are out all the expenses of about $10,000. This is all to play against a stacked deck….no thanks!” |
| Radar Roy Says | First off you don’t have to send me anything, all you need to do is agree to take my challenge. As my challenge plainly states, the testing must be performed by active US law enforcement officers certified in police radar and laser enforcement. These can be ANY active police officer, as long as they are certified.However, the loser must agree to pay all expenses of the test, including air fare, rental fees, lodging, and officer expenses. With news cameras rolling at the 2005 Las Vegas SEMA show, Radar Roy asked Rual, the head engineer of RMR, to take him up on his challenge in the parking lot with Las Vegas Metro Police Officers shooting the radar guns. Raul declined stating “Our jammer will not work in a parking lot” |
| Rocky Mountain Radar Says | “We have our products tested by reputable universities that test what the product does and also any weaknesses; it has no front-end bias. They proved our units do exactly what we say they do. If you want to listen to the other guys’ hired guns, that is your prerogative; we prefer unvarnished truth.” |
| Radar Roy Says | Name the university and the tester! As 20/20 news reported, when they attempted to verify the testimonials the University of Denver researcher R.R. D PhD said his quote was taken out of context and the spokesman from the Nebraska State Patrol added “The Phazer is a piece of {expletive deleted} that doesn’t work.” |
