On August 14th The Federal Communication Commission issued a Forfeiture Order against Michael Churchman and Rocky Mountain Radar in the amount of $25,000.00 for repeated violations of section 302(b) in the manufacture/marketing of illegal radar jamming devices.
The order states that RMR and Mr. Churchman must make payment within 30 days or the matter will be forwarded to the United States Department of Justice for collection.
In visiting RMR’s website today, I found it interesting that they are now “featuring” their new K.A.T. (Kick Ass Technologies) radar detectors over their own RMR line and then knocking down price of their RMR-C450 by $100.00.
Also when visiting many of RMR dealer websites today that have previously been cited by the FCC, I found that many have either removed RMR’s products or have completely shut down.
Seems that the days of Churchman’s snake oil are numbered…..

im proud of you rad roy for helping exposure the truth about these worthless products
Most of the dealers selling RMR radar products have no idea they are violating any FCC laws and are honest.
If you really want to kill internet distribution, contact this distributor:
http://www.Petra.com
Visit:
http://www.petra.com/product_info.php?product_id=RMRS201
Their product goes to 30-100 websites. If you stop the distributor, you will dry up the dealers.
To be honest I don’t understand the argument. The site is saying these units dont work but all of the FCC filing are stating that is does interfere wtih Police Radar?? The FCC is not saying that they are making false claims.
The FCC does NOT say that they interfere with police radar, they say that they are intentional radiators.
I think it’s great that any misrepresented claim like RMR was doing or even wonder pills or anything else like this gets stopped cold and fined heavily for doing it. They should also be required to refund the money to everyone they sold these products to.
Not to knock you Roy, I just found your web site after getting my first ever speeding ticket (I’m 40 and have never done less than 10mph over the posted). None the less I was researching for a good detector and spent 3 days reading your site from front to back, your site is wonderful! I went with the 9500i. Anyhow though, I did notice somewhat of the pot calling the kettle black with your determination of RMR selling consumers non functional products and blatent false claims.
I notice on your radarbusters.com site your selling this “Super Protector” which claims to mask your plate number from cameras. On the Discovery channel the crew at “Mythbusters” conclusively proved these do not work at all, yet your company claims they do and you sell them to people. Maybe not as severe or as expensive an item as RMR was doing but there are simularities in both your ethics are there not?
The covers that they tested were not the ones that are sold on Radarbusters, they were from Phantom Plate.
I thought I read that you lived in Scottsdale, I lived in Mesa/Chandler for 20 years myself before moving to Nevada. I only point that out because I know all to well anyone living in that area has to deal with those camera’s daily and I figured you of all people would know first hand if those plate covers actually worked or not. After seeing the Mythbusters episode and then seeing them on your web site and thinking I read you were in Arizona I thought it very odd, thus the reason for my above comment.
There’s no doubt though after reading the exhaustive information on your web site, and your own credentials that if anyone knew what worked and what doesn’t it would be you without any doubts to that. Sounds like Mythbusters need to revisit one of their busted myths, maybe they’ll even invite you on the show for some free publicity. Thanks for the response back.
