ORLANDO, Fla. - Orlando drivers who have been ticketed for speeding may be able to have their tickets dismissed.

According to an investigation done by WINK-TV in Fort Myers, Florida, a number of sheriff's departments and police stations across the state are using a radar gun which is not listed on the state's approved radar gun list.
