South Iowa Patrol Bans Hand Held Radar Guns Due To Radiation Exposure
South Iowa Highway patrol decided yesterday that 70 “hand held radar guns” will be withdrawn from the Highway patrol. Research says that these hand held radar guns are exposing cops to radiation that can cause long term cancer.
Adam Smith was the spokesman for this situation, “The feeling here is to err on the side of caution until more is known about the issue,” Smith said. “The whole situation is under review.”
State troopers will continue to use radar units with transmitters mounted on the outside of their cruisers.
