Let me be more specific
I'm a current member of ASSA. For South Australia only: if I want to show a friend how well my new <1mW laser works for pointing out a star, and I'm careful not to point at planes or cars etc, could I still attract SA Police trouble for simply using a laser?
As an aside I got my multimeter out and measured the volts and current feeding the laser. When the laser is active volts drop to 2.65 and current is 270mA - so about 0.7mW. Its impressive such little power generates so much useful green light, and only $12
