HOW YOUR CB CAN SERVICE YOU
Colonel Samuel S. Smith of the Missouri Highway Patrol called the numbers
of drunken drivers, wrong-way drivers and speeders reported by CBers as “amaz-
ing.” Не said, that even the “Smokey Bear” warnings don’t shake their beliefs
that “the potential benefits of CB radio to law enforcement are so great that
they far outweight the disadvantages.” In regards to CB radar warnings to other
CBers, Colonel Smith said cheerfully that “We’ve overheard warnings being
relayed to truckers long after our operations hâve been discontinued...so we
actually receive a residual benefit from these warnings.”
