Eleven-Year-Old Takes the Law Into His Own Hands

July 18, 2008

There's a lil man of the law in Louisville, KY. Aspiring police officer, Landon Wilburn, took matters into his own hands when he noticed how many drivers were speeding through his neighborhood. To protect the children at play, the young man who has three younger brothers, began tracking the speed of cars passing by. One report said:

About a month ago, he put on an orange safety vest, took a battery-powered flashlight with a built-in siren, and along with his radar gun, he hit the road.

As a result, when drivers see Landon, they hit their brakes.

Yikes! He was in the road in some of those shots! I think that what he's doing is very clever and adorable but I hope he is very careful.

He's standing on the grass in his own yard with a reflective vest and a helmet. How much safer could the kid get without going inside and sitting on his couch and not caring about what goes on around him?Good for the little guy!
