Yesterday, the East Dakota Highway patrol banded hand-held radar guns, because of concern with radar guns leads to signs of cancer from radiation waves.

The ban is in tack until the studies come back with the connections between radar guns and cancer. With banning these radar guns, the highway patrol will take away 70 radar guns, and instead go on to use radar units with transmitters outside of the patrols cruisers.

The Highway patrol is going on with this ban because the officers want to steer on the side of caution more than putting their lives at risk, until they know more.
