Lead: MERIDEN, Conn.--All hand-held radar guns were banned yesterday from police officers' use until they are proven to have no connections to cancer, reports a state police spokesman.
Backup: “The feeling here is to err on the side of caution until more is known about the issue,” said police spokesperson, Adam Berluti. For now, state troopers will monitor traffic with radar units that have transmitters mounted on their cruisers.
Supporting Points: Two months ago, three municipal police officers in Connecticut filed worker’s compensation claims after developing cancer they said came from the hand-held radar guns.
Ending: The hand-held radar guns will continue to be banned until some sort of conclusion can be reached about the possible links to cancer.
