Yesterday a provisory ban on hand held radar guns was passed as cancer cases grow in the area.

The East Dakota Highway Patrol just ordered a ban which will immediately withdrawal around 70 radar guns from service.

Spokesman Adam Smith spoke to the press saying that “the here is to act on the side of caution until more is know about the issue”; “The whole situation is under review”.

The ban comes two months after three municipal officers filled compensation claims accusing the hand held units of giving them cancer. While research it’s still underway, the ban comes as a provisory measure in an attempt to contain new cases.

Unfortunately for those who were hoping too speed through highways; state troopers will continue to use mounted radar units outside of their cruisers.
