Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween! Be Safe!



It's that time of the year again, please be safe and keep an eye out for trick or treaters!



For today's blog entry, I thought I would introduce you to a police technology you may not have heard of - a police radar system. Now this is not the radar you think it is, the radar used for traffic posts to get the speed of a vehicle. This radar is a handheld system that can allow officers to basically see through walls to check if someone is inside. Click the link below to see a video about how this impressive technology works:




Here are a couple of photos of what the Range-R looks like:



This can be a great tool for officer safety, especially when attempting to serve a high risk felony warrant. However, there are also privacy concerns with the use of this tool. There is a story that discussed this in this USA Today article. What are your thoughts on this technology?
