Meriden, CT— Connecticut State Police ordered a ban on hand-held radar guns yesterday due to possible cancer risks from long-term exposure to the radiated waves emitted by the devices, state police spokesman Adam Bertuli said.
“The feeling here is to err on the side of caution until more is known about the issue,” Bertuli said. The ban was ordered on as a precaution until more research is done on possible links.
This move comes just two months after three municipal police officers in Connecticut filed worker’s compensation claims, saying they developed cancer from using hand-held radar guns
The ban affects 70 radar guns, which will be drawn from service. Rader guns with transmitters mounted on the outside of the radar units will continue to be used.
