I had a visit from the local constabulary about the laser pointer attatched to my 10" meade sct, I was reported and located by police air one, when the coppers showed up I showed them the scope and attached pointer, they tried to tell me I was shining it at the chopper, I told them I wasnt and if it hit them (which it didnt) then it was because they flew through it.
Just in passing tho the only real reason lasers are being banned is that cops dont like little lights popping up on their chests at night it makes them nervous for some reason, all the other reasons are a crock.
