Some radar detectors are designed to shut down their oscillators after making a detection, which stops it from being detected. The cheaper ones still will get busted though.

Speed cameras located in residential areas? Never seen one there. I only ever find them on trunk roads and overtaking straights on single carriageways. I have _NEVER_ seen one outside a school and I am doing 20k miles a year all over sussex right now. I just guess there is no money in it, and the cameras don't detect people at 30mph passing vaccuous mums in fiestas and 307s parking 2 abreast to drop off their little snowflakes with sugared up kids running all over the road.
SpeedCam on Nokia series 60 is good. I am currently testing out RadAlert on Android which looks to do exactly the same stuff as the Coyote and is on free trial. Most fixed cameras are easy to spot anyway, the exception being some SPECS and Monitron locations. The ones that will get you are the mobile vans (aka "Talivans") and bikes. The laser guns they use are so fast they will clock you just as you see them. Even if you have a laser detector by the time it goes off you're clocked. Only jammers can save you but many don't work. People who have been using them to seriously extract the urine have been busted for PCJ but many users i hear have no issues.
Sprays and special paint won't work. Numberplates are corner cube reflective so stand out like a bulldog's proverbials with a diffused laser on. If the plate is missing the headlight reflecters will still do it.
The cameras themselves have the potential to be used for good but from what i've seen of their use so far in practice I ended up in the anti camp. I've only ever seen one camera placed in a good spot (A24 Dial Post jn).
For the record I don't jam, if I could afford one I wouldn't be doing this driving job x_x
