Bon jour,

I don't believe that "I didn't know" is an excuse. It's a well known principal that ignorance of the law is no excuse.

I didn't know it was a police helicopter
So it's ok to laser civilian aircraft?

I have a powerful laser distance measuring device I use for surveys, and I've seen laser pointers. These devices have a large notice (and pictogram) saying Class X laser - It is dangerous to point device directly at the eye The instruction book also covers the safety issues.

We need this guy to go down "pour encourager les autres"
