The state police released numerous press releases stating that the University of Pittsburgh and other studies proved the guns were accurate, when the studies showed otherwise.

Marlin Mickle, an author of the University of Pittsburgh report, later told the Daily News that his report did not say the guns give accurate readings.

Mickle also stated the state police never told him about its own tests that identified the alternator as the problem or of the problems with the Motorola laptops.

And here we go again…Why do the Pennsylvania State Police continue to say the reports show the guns are accurate when the very people conducting the studies/tests state that they didn’t show they were accurate? Lies and deceit!

Judge Sylvia Rambo stated the following:

“The discovery materials the PSP (Pennsylvania State Police) has disclosed to plaintiff, if released to the media, threaten to prejudice the public from which jurors will be selected.”

Alright, so how is the public knowing the facts about the matter going to prejudice them if they are jurors? If anything, it makes them more educated jurors. The sad part is that the PSP continue to spew their own version of the story on their Web site. Is that not prejudicing the public?

State police at one time believed the radar guns were prone to malfunction only when plugged into the cigarette lighter of 2003 or 2004 Ford police cars. The Motorola report, though, says any Crown Victoria police car’s electrical system can be trouble, especially in cars with older batteries.

The report concludes that the array of police lights, radios, computers and other power equipment overloads the cars’ electrical system and introduces electrical noise, which interferes with the computers and radar guns.

So, as you can see, Motorola basically states that the Ford Crown Victoria’s used by the Pennsylvania State Police are just overloaded with electrical equipment that causes numerous problems, including introducing electrical noise which can cause interference and make the GHS radar guns produce false readings, but wait, the PSP continue to state that all of these studies prove, without a shadow of a doubt, that the guns are accurate. Why are these reports stating and showing the complete opposite?

To keep things short, the issue at hand was that GHS radar units were banned from use during from September 3, 2003 to December 14, 2003 in 2003 and newer models of Ford Crown Victoria’s and Josh Losito was clocked with a GHS radar gun on December 4, 2003 while the guns were banned from use.

The trooper that stopped Josh was driving a 2001 model Ford Crown Victoria, so the ban did not apply to him. A slight technicality, but it cost a win.

Frankly I think if there was a ban, it should have been a wide-spread ban regardless of the year of the vehicle because, as John Timothy Shingara stated, the problems occurred in Crown Victoria models of varying years.

Again, this gag order should have never been imposed to begin with. If anything it should be seen as retaliation to the Philadelphia Daily News, all the lawyers and other various news sources reporting on the problem.

Why the gag order if the Pennsylvania State Police have nothing to hide? They obviously had something to hide and internal memos show that.

Now if the GHS radar guns are so accurate, why would the Pennsylvania State Police request to have a gag order in the case to prevent newspaper reporters and lawyers from releasing documents to the public?

Simple answer: They don’t want the public to know the truth about the problems with their GHS radar guns. The Philadelphia Daily News was simply doing their job by reporting their findings and research to the public. Obviously the state police do not want the public to know about the problems when they are making $26 million a year on speeding tickets alone and all of the tickets that earned the money could be contested due to faulty equipment.

This gag order should have never been issued. The gag order was eventually lifted and Judge Sylvia Rambo recused herself from the case. I wonder why?

In short, this response is the same thing the State Police has been saying all along…the GHS radar guns are accurate. This response details the actions that the State Police took to correct the problem (Read: what they did in attempts to cover-up the problem because the public found out).
