Don't hold your breath for that to happen in the UK, if a pleb that covers an autistic person in suntan oil and then sets fire to him killing him only gets 3 years what hope is there of sending a 'laserer' to prison?

he did...what now?
That was a fun read - especially the part where bright spark there had the unbelievable temerity/stupidity to point it at the police chopper looking for him. But I suppose that act in particular shows the kind of mentality that commits this crime in the first place.
I have been lasered twice in the last couple of months-once in CAI and once in BKK. As far as I am concerned the morons should be charged with attempted murder.

this muppet was picked up a year or two ago because he targeted the police helicopter from his own back garden.
I was blinded by laser, helicopter pilot tells court - Herald.ie
i'm pretty sure he got off with a slap on the wrist after his "sorry, i really didn't know it was bothering people" defence.

Goggles
There are those who might say I hung up my goggles.
There are times when I think I might wear my goggles again.
Now when I read this thread I am happy to let my goggles hang where they are.
This diabolical laser thing needs to be solved first. Draconian measures might be applicable.
Or perhaps soon there might be produced new goggles that protect, not against the propeller slipstream, but against lasers.

this may help, but I'm afraid it won't fully solve the safety issue. Certain law enforcement and other government-employed pilot are equipped with protective glasses. Why not extend this to all civilian airlines...
Transparency International
Aalborg, Denmark, March 27: A 26 year old Romanian who pointed a laser at a helicopter during a SAR mission in February, 2013, was sentenced to 50 days in prison and expelled from Denmark with a 6-year entry ban.

UK oriented, here. Adjust penalty labour as appropriate to your country.
When identified, round 'em all up. Chain them together in stripy pj's. Give them litter sticks. Send them out to tidy up the roads. let them experience the inconvenience of putting their lives on the line (plenty of messages on uk motorways about how people are at risk to pick up litter), or generally having their lives disrupted.
10 days labour, irrespective of the weather for Offence 1. Escalate sentence as appropriate.
whippings optional

Really? Work gangs or a few months in prison? This is terrorism or attempted mass murder. Execution, no exceptions - even if they don't realise the consequences of what they're doing, they're too stupid to be allowed to live.

A Fedex Federal Express Airbus A300-600, registration N691FE performing flight FX-386 from Memphis,TN to Albuquerque,NM (USA), was on approach to Albuquerque's runway 03 when a laser beam illuminated the cockpit causing eye injuries to both of the pilots. The crew managed a safe landing on runway 03 nonetheless.
The FAA reported both pilots were taken to hospital with eye injuries.

There is now a new law since July 2014 to cover these offences in Ireland. http://www.irishstatutebook.ie/pdf/2....2014.0027.pdf.
The Act was to provide for the separation of the main state airports in Ireland (Dublin, Cork, Shannon) and enable the necessary management structures. However they squeezed in this law regarding laser targeting of individuals. The law no longer requires the intent to injure, but merely that it dazzles, distracts or confuses the victim.
Section 44 states:
Prohibition on dazzling aircraft
44. (1) A person who deliberately or recklessly directs or shines a light at or in the direction of—
(a) a pilot or co-pilot of an aircraft,
(b) a person involved in the operation of the flight of an aircraft, or
(c) a person carrying out air traffic control services, so that the light may dazzle, distract or confuse the pilot or person in the performance of his or her duties commits an offence.
(2) A person who commits an offence under this section is liable—
(a) on summary conviction to a class A fine or to imprisonment for a term not exceeding 6 months or to both, or
(b) on conviction on indictment—
(i) where the person is an individual – to a fine not exceeding €50,000, or to
imprisonment for a term not exceeding 5 years or to both, or
(ii) where the person is a body corporate – to a fine not exceeding €250,000.
edit: Anybody know why I cannot type the word laser without the @ symbol being inserted automatically?
