Microwave communications equipment. Many television stations use the exact same thing. No sensors, just over active imaginations
we have two trucks with the quik stic here at wpxi.
the one in the picture is assigned to one of our bureaus and is a straight 2gig analog microwave system.
with a repeater on the tower in that county, they actually have a pretty good range of coverage.
our other truck with the quik stic is our cofdm truck ( on the same expedition platform) running digital and analog transmitters.

It was not a police vehicle, but a TV station vehicle - notice the picture never shows the whole truck. It is just a OB van, the microwave dish gets the tv signal back to the station.

If this guy works at the TV station as he says, then it is just a Microwave Transmitter Digital/Analog.
