Green Lasers
BBC NEWS | Technology | Police fight back on laser threat
I've been Lasered a couple of times - we managed to get an exact Grid of one bloke and his laser - passed it on to ATC who passed it onto the cops and they caught the fella red (green) handed....
Anyone else been lasered...?

Reminds me of this whether true or not I don't know.. Perhaps they should have used the missile 
rom the Berwickshire Gazette:
"Two traffic patrol officers from North Berwick were involved in an incident whilst checking for speeding motorists on the A1 road last May. They were using a hand-held radar device to trap speeding motorists on the Edinburgh to London trunk road. One of the unnamed officers used the device to check the speed of an approaching vehicle, and was surprised to find that his target had registered a speed in excess of 300 miles per hour. The £8,000 radar then seized up and could not be reset by the bemused policemen. The radar had in fact latched on to a NATO Tornado aircraft in the North Sea, which was taking part in a simulated low-flying exercise over the Borders and Southern Scotland.
Following a complaint by the Chief Constable of the Lothian & Borders Police force to the RAF liaison office, it was revealed that the officers had had a lucky escape. The tactical computer on board the aircraft not only detected and jammed the "hostile" radar equipment, but had automatically armed an air-to-ground missile ready to neutralise the perceived threat. Luckily the Dutch pilot was alerted to the missile status and was able to override the automatic protection system before the missile launched.
Lothian & Border Police Department have declined to comment, although it is understood that officers will be advised to point their radar guns inland in future."

A while back an ALAT (French equivalent to AAC) EC665 Tiger returning from a live-firing exercise took a couple of rounds from some drunken sanglier (wild boar) hunter on final approach to Valence, so they turned around, flew a search pattern, identified his position, released the remainder of their payload in his general vicinity, then hovered a few metres from his quivering face until the Gendarmes arrived. I suspect that might make the papers if you tried that in the UK...
First time I heard it[1], it was a Harrier in Wales...
The other story around at the time was GATSO's
being toasted by ECM kit.
Nice if it were true!

driving a sports car at high speed with no lights on the A1 at night using NVGs (which is less unbelievable).
