LOUISVILLE, Ky. - Eleven-year-old Landon Wilburn 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, Ky., 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.
Many in the subdivision are frustrated that motorists tear through the neighbourhood at more than double the posted speed limit, equal to about 40 kilometres per hour.
Officials say the city will install speed bumps in the neighbourhood if 70 per cent of residents agree and are willing to put up half the money.
