Teen arrested for dazzling police helicopter today

[millirad]

I just viewed a news report about a young man who was arrested for pointing a laser at a police helicopter. There wasn't much info on it, but his location was in Carmichael, California. It's a bad idea to point a laser at aircraft or any person or animal much less a "police helicopter".

When you shine a laser at a helicopter.. The helicopter has a beacon of light to track your exact location.

What a tard. Such a bad idea. High powered lasers should be used with similar respect as guns. Do not aim towards people while using. Do not discharge at moving vehicles, do not hand over to uneducated children to use.

They should make an example of him and give him compulsory
education for a few years...

Because obviously he has no intelligence... and is a MORON...
