I seriously doubt that someone created said "countermeasure" that fries their equipment. First off, that in and of itself is illegal. Second, the "device" if it does work probably violates several other laws and/or regulations with the FCC and other standards bodies. Third, if that jackass is somehow "miraculously" damaging this police equipment, he is only costing the taxpayer, himself included, more money to replace and/or repair that equipment. RADAR units are not cheap by any means.
FYI, we don't run our RADAR units down near the airfield because the RADAR from the aircraft and towers cause too much interference with our equipment to legally consider it accurate for ticketing purposes. If an expensive RADAR unit on a military installation and aircraft can't fry our units, I doubt someone else can create one. Even more interesting is how he's proven that his unit works. I'm sure he drove by a cop, zapped his RADAR and then stopped to ask if he's having any problems with his equipment. That story is BS, pure and simple. We are all now dumber for having listened to it. May god have mercy on your soul.
Oh, one more thing. His "countermeasure" zaps Laser based units as well as stopwatches and aerial speed measuring systems too? I throw the bull$hit card big time on this one.
