Seriously, don't point those green lasers at aircraft. I was the observer on a law enforcement helicopter for a number of years. We had one idiot paint us with a laser as we were orbiting over the scene of a murder and foot pursuit. The pilot was dazzled enough we had to break off the orbit until he regained his eyesight. Unfortunately for Laser Dude, we also had a GPS following the Night Sun searchlight, and we were able to light him up before we broke off. It took five patrol units about five minutes to have him custody after fighting with officers and doing the electric boogaloo for a couple minutes.. He served 4.5 years in prison on a combined state and federal felony charge. Just don't do it.
