Police 'can' do almost anything, legally, even if they "can't", they will. Depends on where you live, but in the US, and here in NZ, virtually anything they do is legal in the sense that even if it is unlawful, they will never have any non-trivial consequence, and what does "illegal" really mean...
Never seen IR goggles before, so can't speak for that wavelength, but some general tips that will make this sort of mistake almost impossible.
1.
Have the goggles in a case clearly labelled with the wavelength range, and a plain English description (Laser Protection 190-540nm - blocks...
Rebooted my laser hobby, so have a quick question about eye protection.
I've been playing around generally burning stuff (lighting matches, engraving my desk etc) with an overspec 100mW green, wearing Eagle Laser eye protection (OD4 100-540). The dot still has that 'intensity' to it, and even...
Appearance 4/10
They look ridiculous like rubbish sunglasses
Optical protection 2/10
They let in a very noticeable dot. Probably about 5-10mW from my 200mW red. These goggles may or may not protect against a reflected hit and most likely won't protect from a direct hit. 15mW might not cause eye...
The cap makes it a lot safer than the regular dot. A 50mW laser with a cap would have about 50 dots each having 1mW.
Although it isn't likely to cause damage accidentally It is still dangerous to point it on peoples faces on purpose
No wonder they were banned in OC. Look at this video
Ocean City - Green laser pointers at airplane - YouTube (I tinyurl'd it so it won't say as seen on laser pointer forums)
The poor pilot in a small plane was getting heaps of people lasering him
Can't wait to get my glasses :D
Good that they're effective against 405. I'm not using a huge amount of power. One of those Dealextreme PHR dildas which are 50-100mW. If these goggles are half decent the power through them should be <1mW
Shipping 9.5/10 (Very good - Excellent)
I was pleasantly surprised that this laser took only 10 days to arrive from the day I bought it. It comes bubble wrapped in the usual white packing
Appearance 8/10 (Good)
I think aesthetically this laser is quite good. It looks like the younger...
New cute pocket Green laser 100mW /adjustable [OLCGL100] - $71.99 : Welcome to O-Like.com, Your source for laser products
A little bit pricey for what it is.
If you want to spend less but still get a very bright laser get this
Silver chrome green laser 50mW/good finish [OLSGL50] - $29.00 ...
Those people were morons but at least in their credit by sheer luck it didn't hit anyone in the eye.
None the less their behavior was inexcusable and that of an 10 or 13 year old not an older teen or adult
My regular style DX 5mW pens arrived. They are both slightly dimmer than this laser. But not by too much. I'll review later.
But I'd recommend this over those
This is for people in NZ only
