Edit: I also forgot to mention that the person who called the police is an eye doctor.. just my luck. :mad:

So I was playing around with my 30mW green, and apparently, I shined the laser "near" someone, and they said it got into their eye(It was on the ground near them, I was like 200 ft away too.)

Anyways, they called police, and when the dude showed up, he asked for my laser. He took it, shined it in my eye, and was like "Do you like how this feels?". He than gave it back and said "please don't shine this in peoples eyes anymore".

I was stunned that a police officer would shine a laser in my eye, when I had no idea that I was pointing my laser near any person at all. I didnt even get it in their eyes, they "assumed" that the laser hit their eye, but I think they just saw the big green dot and got scared(I was around 200 ft away).

My eye is fine, but my mom says she might sue the police officer. The dude just took the laser and shined directly in my eye from less than 3 ft away. I'm 15 years old by the way.

Yeah I think that you should sue. I don't know why there isn't any damage though.

Even if it did cause damage you probably won't notice it immediately. If you start seeing black specs or blurred areas in your vision in a couple of days you'll know.

Re: Police officer shines laser in my eye.

you should most definitely sue, or at least get this a.hole fired.
he didnt even ask questions?
an eye for an eye, right? get the laser, and shine it into HIS eyes for 3 (or more) secs.

Re: Police officer shines laser in my eye.

That's just a testament to the utter ignorance the average person (cops included - gee, I wonder what he would have done had you had a BB gun - shot you with it and asked if you liked how it felt!?!) has about lasers....either they think a laser can cut you in half or they think it's utterly harmless, like a flashlight...people, especially those that enforce laws, really need some educating!

They have to keep records of all the calls they go on so there will be a report filed with his name on it.

He'd probably deny ever shining the laser in your eye.

Yeah, if I was a dumbass cop I'd probably deny it too.

Re: Police officer shines laser in my eye.

I don't know what you'd gain from a lawsuit, but this definitely should be persued further until he gets the message.

If he didn't know how dangerous that was, he needs educating - plus disciplining, for messing with something he doesn't know about. Pointing an unfamiliar thing at a kid's face, point-blank, and firing it - that is clearly irresponsible.

And if he did know what he was doing, he needs to be kicked off the force for being a sadistic s.o.b. with no respect for the people he's sworn to protect. Aiming a known dangerous device at a kid's eyes and firing it - how clear is that!?

Like 5 of my friends were there lol.

They all saw it.

@danq: you have a good point. Man I could be blind right now. Also, the person who I shined "near" the laser to, is a physcian/eye doctor. Just my luck.

that may be, but chances are good that he joked about it with his buddies "you should have seen the look on that little xxxx when I shined it back at him!"
so there may be other witnesses, though they also may just cover it up.

regardless, a complaint should be filed. If someone is many times getting off the hook on technicalities, sometimes a good administrator will notice and deal with things; but if nobody ever went through with a complaint there would not be anything to go on.

Re: Retard Police officer shines 30mW laser in my

The problem here, could be related to where you live.

The police officer had NO RIGHT to shine that in your eyes, and I'm sure he could get in a lot of trouble.

The problem en lies in the legality of you possessing the laser in the first place, depending on your country (usa?). Even if it is illegal for you to have the laser, it doesn't me he can just do that, but it may create a sticky situation for yourself that may end in getting your laser confiscated.
