I can honestly say it sucks. Being a Police pilot in a navy town we've been hit with lasers many times. Usually a young and drunk junior member of the navy using the military grade green targeting laser, or a drunk street thug with a cheaper red laser.
We fly between 1000 AGL down to 200 AGL if working a call aggressively. At that range it's blinding. God forbid if i've got the NVG's down. We've been lucky and avoided a direct hit on the NVG's but I'm told a laser will destroy the NVG tube on a direct hit.
If we can identify where they come from, we get ground units to scoop them up and arrest them.
