I am frequently asked about which radar guns someone can use to stop speeders in their neighborhood. The truth is that any of the models will have the same outcome: a lot of notes followed by a phone call to your police department. Hand held radar guns are a great way to figure out the average speed of traffic along your streets (or that hot rodder in his new sports car) so you can make an official complaint to your police department. They may then send out an officer to patrol the area. In order for data from a radar gun to hold up in the courts, two things must be true:
1) The Radar Gun is certified for law enforcement use
2) The operator has been officially trained in the use of police radar guns.
Taking all of the above into consideration, you can use any sports radar such as the
Bushnell Speedster II Radar Gun . This model does not have the range of a Police Radar Gun, and is not certified, but it will work just fine for the Neighborhood Watch. If you want a little more range, you can get a nicer Sports Radar Gun such as the
JUGSpeed Cordless Radar Gun or a Handheld Police Radar Gun such as the
Decatur Genesis Handheld Directional Police Radar Gun.
