PHILADELPHIA (AP) - A federal appeals court has thrown out a gag order imposed in a case that questioned the accuracy of state police radar guns.
The U.S. 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that the lower court, which issued the gag order in December, erred in adopting the measure.
The gag order was imposed after the Philadelphia Daily News obtained hundreds of pages of internal memos released as part of a civil lawsuit by former state police radar expert John T. Shingara. He alleged that his job was threatened after he testified in a court case that a widely used radar gun is prone to false readings.
