California Man Walloped With 14-Year Sentence for Shining Laser at Helicopter - US News

The Americans certainly don't mess about when it comes to sentencing.

Similar exemplary sentences in the UK would go a long way towards stamping out the stupidity.

Edit. On a disappointing note, it seems that the pondlfe scum's sentence was vacated on appeal. Still, five years is a not unsubstantial sentence.
