I I I I I I I I I Police Brush Up On Radar Technique By DONN GAYNOR Speeders beware! All of Mansfield's traffic policemen have completed a refresher course on the operation and legal aspects of radar and the machine will be on city streets in the near future. The course was conducted First Sgt. William BrauchLoy of the Ohio Highway Patrol and attended by bers the traffic division. Braucher: and Patrolman Edward O'Brien of the Mansfield Post demonstrated the method of setting up, checking and operating the radar speed checking device. SCHOOL'S PURPOSE Commissioner Richard Hildebrand said the session was held to city patrolmen and officers with the mechanical operating of radar, as well legal requirements for a radar-speeding conviction.

Hildebrand said an Ohio Supreme Court decision set the following requirements for conviction of a person arrested for speeding and clocked by radar. The cruiser containing the radar set must be on the highway where the arrest made and not hidden. A sign must be posted, declaring a radar-speed area, at least 750 feet from the cruiser, and not more than 1,500 feet. All approaching vehicles must be able to see the warning signs. The proper speed must be posted on conspicuous signs in the area.

The court also ruled that if the radar set is of an accepted and generally-used type, it need not be necessary for a factory expert to testify as to its accuracy and makeup. MUST BE QUALIFIED The officer actually reading the speed meter must be qualified through training and experience. The radar device itself must be checked by actual operation before being put in use. A second person must witness the meter readings during the test runs. The officer reading the meter must, make the arrest, that he is who must sign the affidavit, The officer driving the pursuing cruiser or motorcycle may issue a summons in the name of the arresting officer, but may not himself sign the affidavit.
