Apparently the research (no idea by who) shows that the pen type lasers that the majority of the oxygen thieves use is of little to no risk to eyes. Some chinese military spec ones are a danger, but are rare. As a veteran of hundreds of attacks over merseyside, I believe that the main risk is dazzle and distraction. As this is potentially lethal as well, courts should treat attacks more seriously. Often a fixed penalty public order fine is given. In court you have to prove that there was an actual danger. This is more difficult than you think
