I can go one better, after some loose talk in Usenet (referred to in this

article as an 'Internet chat site'):

http://www.theage.com.au/news/20001116/A52971-2000Nov15.html


"Police in Melbourne are expected to carry out tests on some models of Nokia

mobile telephones to discover whether what appears to be a built-in radar

speed trap detector in the handsets does in fact work."


Yes, the police and the company did get involved as this completely baseless

claim made the news in print, radio and TV.
