Yesterday breaking news was sent out shocking a large amount of people in Sioux City, Iowa. The South Iowa Highway Patrol put out and order to ban the use of hand-held radar guns.

The reason they feel radar guns should be ban is due to the concerns that the troopers have the possibility of developing cancer from being exposed to radiation constantly. This ban is just as a precaution, while research is continually be provided for the correlation of radar guns and cancer. Spokesman, Adam Smith said, “The feeling here is to err on the side of caution until more is known about the issue.”

This move is the first to happen by any state police agency, after the incident of three officers filing compensation for the claims of receiving cancer by using hand-held units.
