For those of you who wish to spend a couple hours a day sitting street side with a radar gun to monitor neighborhood car speeds, there are a few essentials you don’t want to leave at home. Since a neighborhood watch cannot issue speeding tickets, you don’t need anything super fancy.

For your radar gun, I recommend the Bushnell Velocity Radar Gun. This inexpensive unit is very accurate, easy to use, and has the easiest to read LCD display of all the radarguns we sell.

You also might want a laser rangefinder in your arsenal. This will help you to determine how far away the cars are, and more specifically, where the cars are if they are too far away to see what street they turned on. Something nice and simple like the Leupold RX-I will do the trick nicely.

In my opinion, the most important item to have with you is the Brunton Widemouth Beverage Flask. These beverage containers have a great epoxy coating on the inside that prevents your libation from touching the aluminum and transferring taste. These flasks are even suitable for acidic juices and alcoholic beverages.

Now that you’re set up, you can go monitor the speeders in your neighborhood. Just don’t forget a pen and paper to record your findings.
