Whether you agree or disagree with the science bit, that damage to eyes can or cannot be caused by lasers,
there is the potential for an accident to be caused by a pilot being distracted when having a laser directed at them.
As has been well established it is a criminal offence to endanger an aircraft.
The Police pilots that have posted all seem in favour of going after the bad guys, but often don't get to hear about the "attacks", whereas ATC do. Some of these reports may get passed to local Police stations who may or may not know what to do about it.
So why not get organised ?
Why doesn't someone from every Police ASU contact the ATC for their region,
and ask that all reports of laser attacks received by ATC are recorded and forwarded to them ?
This will probably build up a pattern of attacks ( specific time of day / location etc. ) that can be collated and used to track down the offenders.
.... or are some Police ASU's already doing this ?
How about it ?
