Radar Gun In-Class Story

East Dakota as well as surrounding metro areas have ordered for the ban of hand-held radar guns.

Just yesterday, the East Dakota Highway patrol ordered a ban of hand-held radar guns over concerns that troopers may develop cancer due to the exposure of radiation from these radar gun devices. This ban also effects part of the Sioux City, Iowa area.

Something like this has never come about within the state police agency. The ban began to be the topic of discussion following 3 municipal officers filing workman’s compensation and claiming that the radar devices caused cancer.

If the ban were to go into effect, over 70 radar guns would need to be withdrawn from service as of immediately. The ban wouldn’t slow down much as troopers could still use the radar transmitters that are on the outside of the cruisers.

As of now, the whole situation is still something that is being taken into consideration. “The feeling is to err on the side of caution until more is known about the issue,” Adam Smith, spokesperson for the highway patrol, announced.

  2. The organization is OK for the most part, Dayne, but you’re being too conversational. Just boil it down, especially the headline:

    East Dakota State Troopers ordered a ban on hand-held radar guns yesterday.

    Then the why. Be direct.
