As you can see, this is indeed CAP.

A regular stud finder cannot jam up a Law Enforcement Radar gun.

There are and have been gadgets that do in fact detect and jam up radars that people have been using for 30 years.

Whether or not you think Not An Undercover Cop is joking or totally serious, This TikTok trend does not work. I would not speed in front of a cop and get pulled over with a stud finder.

You might get a ticket and be made fun of at the same time.
