Boy, 11, tracks speeders with toy radar gun

Landon Wilburn, 11, has a future as a cop -- a traffic cop. The youngster, who used to shout at speeders to slow down as they drove through the Stone Lakes subdivision in Louisville, now has taken matters into his own hands.

Dressed in a reflective vest, wearing a bicycle helmet and armed with an orange Hot Wheels brand radar gun, he points and records the actual speed of passing traffic.

Landon also carries a flashlight with a built-in siren.

"When I saw it happening, I got the biggest kick out of it," said resident George Ayers, 61. "People were locking up their brakes when they saw him."

Impersonating an officer?

When I was a kid we took our telescope out the front door to look at the moon. After we were done we aimed the telescope at on coming traffic and many people slowed down.
