Who invented the radar detector?

The phrase "Fuzzbuster" began in the 70's, by the gentlemen who invented the radar detector. Do you know who that was? Well it all goes back to when the national speed limit was reduced due to the Arab Oil Embargo of the early 1970s, and a forward thinking man named Dale Smith who invented the first radar detector, called the "Fuzzbuster". The phrase "fuzz buster" became famous. In fact it became so famous, that all radar detectors were called a "fuzzbuster". Anyone who was around back in the 70's always called the radar detector a "fuzz buster". The word "fuzz buster" became synonymous with the words radar detector.
