Actually, it's defined in that same statute: "(3) As used in this section, “laser pointer” means a device that emits light amplified by the stimulated emission of radiation that is visible to the human eye."
I'm just wondering if a cop has the right to confiscate a laser if it's being used in public. My thinking is no, but I was wondering if anyone had a more definitive answer.
Not that I am any expert, by any means, but the only thing I recall reading a while back was that a laser dot on a cop will get the guy doing the pointing locked up, because it will be construed as being a laser pointer mounted on a firearm. But that might just be the stuff of local folk lore....
