Yeah, I did a bit of research beforehand - seems like to have to be a member of an officially recognized astronomical club to own one, and it needs to be less than 1mw (in Queensland at least). It was advertised as 1mw but the actual device says <5mw on the side of it. I guess pointing it at that police chopper the other night probably wasn't a good move...
