This is hysterical. Apparently Hot Wheels has produced a radar gun for kids that they can use to detect the speed of their racing slot cars. Ironically, the radar gun is also calibrated for street use and it’s already being used to slow down neighborhood speeders. ![http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41wXMHd-DYL.SL500_AA280.jpg](http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41wXMHd-DYL._SL500_AA280_.jpg) They are around $30.00 and can be bought at any main stream department store. So now, you can set up your own stationary radar trap and clock people yourself Hahahahahahaha!

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. I gotta get one of these! ---

I remember in the past some old couple setup a video camera and a speed gun at the bottom of their hill by their house down south somewhere and got sued for invasion of privacy because they tried to get people for speeding and even tried to sue a cop for driving too fast through it. ---

Watching that video of the kid, and reading the article proved something to me…being a prick can be genetic. I don’t think you can learn that level of prick before 12 years old.
