from a strictly civvie point of view, it there was a f******* great din going on in the dark, in or near my back garden, I would also be inclined to grab a torch & try to find out what was going on.
Wouldn't you?
And to end up in a cell for 9 hours because you don't know that someone out there is wearing night vision enhancing equipment that doesn't like a torch (not a laser) shone at it sounds a bit OTT to me.
P.S. I've got an electric welding mask that auto-darkens when I strike the spark. It cost £80. Doesn't million squid military NVG stuff have something similar built-in? If it doesn't, I'll put my mask in the mail.
Will now run for cover
