CONfJNUED from lA
Missouri lobbyists
seek to pass
traffic bill
one cif several states in which existing stat
utes do not prohibit the interruption of
traffic flow.
"It's difficult to detect if they're using
it," Engler said. "This will make it illegal
to possess it. But there's no reason for them
to even have one."
This bill will ban the possession, use
and sale of MIRTs by non-emergency
personnel. Violating this proposed law
would result in a class A misdemeanor.
Rep.· Brad Lager, who is also on
Missouri's Transportation and Motor Ve
hicles committee, agrees with Engler aboui:
the dangers ofMIRTs in the public's pos
session.
"Clearly, there's a definite problem,"
Lager said. "The theory that the device is
to be used in conjunction with an emer
gency vehicle is sound. The problem is
that I can't conceptually understand when
someone would need (a MIRT) other_
than that case .. There's a greater level of
danger with playing with the smooth and
proper flow of trnffic."
Lager applauded Engler's initiative to
prevent the issue from becoming a bigger
problem.
"I think Kevin Engler has a solid con
cept and I look forward to seeing (the pro
posed bill) enter the process," Lager said.
According to Engler, the bill will be
part of a large comprehensive crime bill
and will be addressed during· Missouri's
legislative session, which ends in June.
