JONESBORO - Speeders in Clayton County beware: Police officers could be using radar guns again by the weekend. <br>
<br>
State officials forced Clayton police to stop using the detection device after discovering the county's application for a radar permit contained photocopied signatures of county commissioners. <br>
<br>
Commissioners approved a new permit application Tuesday. Solicitor Keith Martin, who prosecutes county traffic cases, says the state may issue a new permit by the end of the week. <br>
<br>
County officials said no action would be taken against the employee who made the permit error. <br>
<br>
Wayne Patterson, the county transportation director, called the use of photocopied signatures ``a stupid mistake on the part of me and my department.''
