The police in the copter don't know that it is a kid with a laser pointer or a thug with laser sights trying to pop off a lucky shot. They should track down and arrest for such activity since pointing a weapon is a use of force (Class A misdemeanor) and pointing it at police is usually a felony. An arrest is not a conviction.

The twenty years quoted is probably the maximum for the felony. I see no where does it state that the kid was tried or convicted or sentenced.

If you don't like living in a police state (California) then move to Texas.

I totally agree with you.

Our freedom is slipping away. Don't worry about what the government loving monkeys think. They probably need the gov. to help them think.

You can LOVE your country and HATE your government. That is a very American characteristic, at least until they end the right of freedom of speech. ]]>Feb 15th 2008 6:54PMhttp://www.switched.com/2007/12/28/teen-arrested-for-shining-laser-pointer-on-police-copter/http://www.switched.com/2007/12/28/teen-arrested-for-shining-laser-pointer-on-police-copter/Aug 8th 2008 7:57AMhttp://www.switched.com/2007/12/28/teen-arrested-for-shining-laser-pointer-on-police-copter/http://www.switched.com/2007/12/28/teen-arrested-for-shining-laser-pointer-on-police-copter/Feb 26th 2011 1:00AMhttp://www.switched.com/2007/12/28/teen-arrested-for-shining-laser-pointer-on-police-copter/http://www.switched.com/2007/12/28/teen-arrested-for-shining-laser-pointer-on-police-copter/Dec 28th 2007 12:10PMhttp://www.switched.com/2007/12/28/teen-arrested-for-shining-laser-pointer-on-police-copter/http://www.switched.com/2007/12/28/teen-arrested-for-shining-laser-pointer-on-police-copter/Dec 31st 2007 12:42PMhttp://www.switched.com/2007/12/28/teen-arrested-for-shining-laser-pointer-on-police-copter/http://www.switched.com/2007/12/28/teen-arrested-for-shining-laser-pointer-on-police-copter/Dec 29th 2007 9:29AMhttp://www.switched.com/2007/12/28/teen-arrested-for-shining-laser-pointer-on-police-copter/http://www.switched.com/2007/12/28/teen-arrested-for-shining-laser-pointer-on-police-copter/
A laser could blind the pilot and cause a crash of an aircraft or police helicopter. Laser ponters have a legal use so they are sold. Guns are also legally sold, but if shoot at a passenger airliner you should be arrested. The kid's parents need to have the responsibility to instruct the kid of the laser's proper use.
