This months Safety Data Listing contains at least 7 lasers & 1 torch.
4 of these incidents were, I suspect, police helicopters, and in each of these cases the brief details include the phrase 'Perpetrators were apprehended'
Bearing in mind the kit that police helicopters carry, shining a laser at them seems a sure fire way to get yourself arrested.
(why doesn't it like the word 'laser'??)
