its an old new clip i had laying around in my dresser so i decided to post it up!!!

Yorkshire (UK) police were jolted from their routine of traffic radar when they apparently began clocking a speeder at 300 mph. It proved to be no malfunction a low-flying Harrier Jet scream overhead a few seconds later. When Police officials registered a complaint with the Ministry of Defense about their damaged equipment, the MOD only replied that the damage could of been worse. Much worse. It seems the Harrier's defense systems had locked onto the radar and had gone into an automatic preemptive strike mode before the pilot decided enemy antiaircraft activity was unlikely along the motorways of northern england

Ehhhh I think this is just an urban legend. Snopes.com has something very similar to this. Radar gun from cops, Jet plane in the sky, cop's radar triggers jet plane's hostile radar response.

You got a newspaper article reference for this?
