Well first of all turning off K band is kind of looking for a ticket, never turn K band off it is used by cops.
That they can "secretly" change to K band instant on yeah if they buy the radar guns or if they have it they can use it, but if you mean a Ka to K NO.
I'm sure they still use it (K band) and even X band is used because RD users turn it off or see it as a false.

Of course. But why bother? They are able to pull over MORE than enough people w/WHATEVER equipment they use because the large majority of people do not own RDs.
Waste our tax dollars by buying and/or maintaining tons of radar equipment and switching them to be "sneaky"... what a wonderful idea. :roll:
Not to mention your "theory" has been theorized by seemingly 20 other people on here over the past 2 weeks, so I apologize if I sound less than amused by this thread.
