I cannot see police busting down observatory doors and siezing telescope collimators, so why worry, go on collimating our scopes. I think the police have better things to do with their time than conduct raids on amateur observatories and astro society viewing nights. As for using laser pointers for pointing things in the sky, again, as the beam cannot be seen from a long distance to the side of the beam, as long as it is aimed skywards and never near aircraft, there shouldnt be a problem.
If society becomes a place where police picket observing grounds looking for "prohibited weapons" Id rather go to jail in protest. No way Id want a part of a society like that. As far as Im concerned the state can then clothe and feed me for the rest of my life.
