This article was published in the Pittsburgh Tribune Review on December 10, 2004. It discusses how the Pennsylvania State Police continue to use the University of Pittsburgh Study as proof positive that the Genesis Handheld Stationary (GHS) radar guns are accurate, when the report shows otherwise.

Not only does the report show how easy it is to obtain false readings from objects such as cell phones and watches, but Marlin Mickle, the professor conducting the study, stated the following:

“The goal of our study was not to ascertain the accuracy of the radar gun.”

Why are state police using the University of Pittsburgh study exactly for that then? I’ll tell you the answer…they were grasping at straws and this was their last one. They were so brazen, they didn’t even notify Marlin Mickle about their reasoning and purpose of the study or past reported problems. Marlin Mickle had no idea Radargate was even going on and that he was being used as a pawn in the grand scheme of things.
