See today a report on attacks on police Helicopters with a a night picture of four thugs on a housing block pointing the laser. They don't look intelligent enough to even know what a blackboard is

The article is claiming that attacks on night surveillance police helicopters is becoming a regular occurrence.

At least with the equipment they carry there is more chance of pinpointing the culprits than an attack on a high speed jet but still think the chances of bringing successful prosecutions are very small unless the vandals are standing outside their own flat!

Even then the pictures are not that clear to make an individual identification hence why a legal restriction on their sale might be the only way

NB cannot get the word Laser without the @
