I have used such devices many times in the course of a former career. They do require a little training to calibrate (the most important) and operate. So, if a citizen does get a reading, why don’t they just call the local EMA, who is already funded and trained, to verify. There is no need for LEOs to panic or even interpret.

Funny, I used to live in DC and in the basement was a CD shelter from the early 60s with just such a device. I still have it. Labeled Family Radiation Kit and they wanted you to have it then. Sigh.

Ok, so detectors are prohibited without license... Hmmm Smoke Detectors, Carbon Monoxide Detectors, Oxygen Sensors, hey, why stop there - put a policeman in every home - kind of our miners canaries, then while they are checking everything for our license we can observe them and see if they have any ill effects...
Utterly STUPID!!!
