SB 2028 Mississippi Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Radar; authorize limited use of by sheriffs in certain counties.

SB 2028 would have allowed sheriffs and deputies in Mississippi counties with populations over 50,000 to use radar speed detection equipment on public roads outside city limits, but only with strict limitations. Key provisions include restricting each sheriff's department to a maximum of two radar guns, prohibiting use within 500 yards of municipal or county boundaries, and banning radar on interstates and four-lane state highways. The bill specifically targeted rural roads outside incorporated municipalities, not city streets. However, the bill "died in committee" on February 4, 2025, and never became law.
