I am looking for an inexpensive radar gun to informally clock community traffic.. Something in the ~$100 price range that can somehow record each car's speed and recall later. Anonymous records would be fine; i.e. I dont need a license plate reader or camera etc.

Something with accuracy of +- 2-3mph would serve the purpose of making a point that we have more pressing matters than low hanging fruit like crabgrass to the Board of Directors.

Can anyone (maybe LEOs here) recommend such a device?
If you want to benchmark speeds through your neighborhood at a good DIY price point look at the Bushnell sports speed gun. I think they run $50.

Any more serious hardware you would require an FCC license to operate. You don't require a license to operate a Lidar (Light Detection and Ranging) device but they are well out of your price range.
