A company I used to work for - Redflex Traffic Systems, Inc, did red light camera enforcement and speed enforcement, via photo radar. X band radars were pretty much dead, while K band was the standard. Ka band was used on the Stalker ATR and was more effective.
High end detectors such as Valentine, Escort, etc. failed to detect the radars that were in use by Redflex. I got curious and asked the tech engineering people who promptly refused to say what frequency they were operating on. The tuning unit looked like a large floating flashlight. A bit of digging showed that the transmitter was an East German pulse Doppler fire control radar operating on an unlicensed frequency in the US.
That suddenly stopped when the FCC paid them a visit prior to the US corporate CEO went to Federal prison for bribery in Chicago, corruption, and several other criminal and civil issues.
