The East Dakota Highway Patrol has ordered a ban of cancer causing hand-held radar guns.
The Highway Patrol in East Dakota ordered to ban hand-held radar guns, yesterday. The department is concerned that officers are developing cancer from long term exposure to the waves emitted by the devices. Studies are still in progress to determine if there is real threat of cancer causing radiation. This ban is precautionary, until further research is completed. “The feeling here is to err on the side of caution.” says Adam Smith, a spokesperson for the Highway Patrol Department.
Three municipal officers in Central City have claimed that their cancer was caused by using hand-held radar guns. This ban has potential to affect up to 70 radar guns used by East Dakota’s Highway Patrol department, including parts of Sioux City, Iowa. Only radar mounted on the outside of patrol cars will be utilized within the department.
OK on organization Alli. More paragraphs.
The lead, the first sentence, suggests you have already concluded the guns cause cancer. That is still being determined.
