This article was published by the Philadelphia Daily News on December 8, 2004. This article details all of the problems with GHS radar again and has all of the denials from the Pennsylvania State Police. Sad part about that is that there are internal State Police memos that document the reported problems. Statements such as the following show that the Pennsylvania State Police knew about the numerous problems with GHS radar, but wanted to keep them secret from the public:
Lt. Gerald Roberts, assistant director of the state police Patrol Services Division, argued in a February 1999 memo to his boss that the radar guns should be fixed one at a time during routine service to keep the problems secret. “If the radar sets were all recalled at once under the announcement of a problem, the inappropriate media attention would cause undue concern to the public and could potentially undermine our speed enforcement efforts for the past year,” wrote Roberts.
OK, so there are no problems with GHS radar, but lets fix them during routine maintenance so nobody knows…yeah, then there are no problems. WRONG.
