MERIDIEN, Conn -- A ban on radar guns by the Connecticut State Police went into effect yesterday, due to a study showing a possible link between the use of radar guns and the occurence of cancer.
"The feeling here is to err on the side of caution until more is known about the issue," said Adam Berluti, a state police spokesman.
The ban affects 70 radar guns, which will be withdrawn from service. The move is considered the first of it's kind by a state agency.
It comes two months after three municipal police officers in Connecticut filed workers' compensation claims, saying that they had developed cancer from using hand-held radar guns.
The ban was ordered as a precaution when researchers continue studies on the possible link. "The whole situation is under review," said Berluti.
