If I used stealth paint on my car, would cops be able to use radar guns to determine my speed?
>>
Stealth aircraft are not invisible to radar, just dark. And most of this effect comes from their shape, not their surface coating.

damn
Thanks for clarifying instead of just calling me a faggot though.

You're okay, anon.

You could invoke relativity to get out of a ticket. "70 mph speed limit" is technically meaningless, 70 mph relative to what?
>>
>>7667374
Relative to the road?

Sign doesn't say that.

Doesn't say that either.

Pedantry is not a valid defence. It's not even clever. It is commonly understood that the ground is to be considered stationary.
>>
>>7667388
>Sign doesn't say that.

And a stop sign just says "STOP", it doesn't explain the law. It doesn't have to, because knowing the meaning of street signs is supposed to be a prerequisite for getting a driver's license.

So shut the fuck up, basically.

Has anyone ever make the argument in court for time dilation? Relative to another object moving quickly, your hour is longer than theirs, so your miles traveled per hour from their perspective is also less.
>>
>>7667458
You would probably lose. They would just say it's implied that it means relative to the ground.
>>
>>7667456
It doesnt have to, its the reasonable, accepted method.
>>
>>7667458
>Has anyone ever make the argument in court for time dilation?

Time dilation effects would be immeasurably (literally) small and therefore couldn't possibly make a difference even if the judge didn't simply call you a faggot.
>>
>>7667458
There was this physicist who got out of a speeding ticket by using frames of reference but I forgot the link
>>
>>7667538
If it did work once its probably written down now that speed limits are implied to mean whatever speed relative to the ground.
>>
>>7667233

There's a good chance that the radar operating frequency is not absorbed by the RAM and/or the cops are using LIDAR guns which are far more common these days. So it probably wouldn't help.

Where does it say that?

In the goddamn drivers manual.

I just checked

Doesn't say that

Why don't y0u build your own skinny car that only one person can sit inside and has to lie down to steer
>>
Yes. Using JUST the paint won't make your car stealthy.
>>
>>7667981
Why did you feel the need to capitalize the word 'just'?
>>
Where on earth were you planning on getting some radiation-absorbent material anyways?

That's some of the most locked-down stuff on earth.
>>
>>7667374
relative to the roadsign wich tells you not to go over 70 smartass
>>
>>7667233
No. Its not really the paint, but the geometrical design of the aircraft that is responsible for the majority of the "stealth" factor. The large flat angles are done so that the majority of a radar signal will be scattered in a direction away from the source. The paint is just to shave off the last little bit of returning signal as it enhances the scattering.

You mean stealth paint isn't made of ground up black holes?
