what are people gaining from lasering aircraft?
like you’re sitting at home, flicking your laser on and off, and you think- hey, maybe i’ll shine it at the floaty thing in the sky. You know, the one with sheriff written on the side of it.
and why does it happen so fuckin often?
what the hell are people hoping to accomplish.

Only in Florida would someone think it’s a game to play Star Wars with actual police helicopters.
They got Fat Albert !!
Seems like something you shouldn’t try at home.
That’s some top level stupidity. They’ll never find me!
People don’t seem to realise that they’re called laser pointers, because when you shine them, you’re pointing directly back at yourself.
Ok one time is unbelievably stupid.
Continuing to do it for minutes is just off the fuckin charts.
I would understand it if it were some kids messing around, but these are adults, smh…

Literally points straight back to you.

A coworker of mine did this once, and the helicopter landed in the street to arrest him
Is he doing that from his house? And if so why the fuck would you?
It’s always some fucking manchild
Busted dumb ass
I’m interested in knowing the iQ of people who do this. Do they not know police helicopters have IR cameras? 🤣
He should laser a spectre in the open away from civilians💀
How do people get a kick outta doing something like this?
Pilots shouldn’t be flying in peoples air space
Kid probably making a snap or tictok video to try look cool for some likes
If someone were to be lost in the wilderness and did this,would it be a great way to be found? Trade some jail time for rescue? Idk. Just a thought.
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. Shining a laser at a helicopter is basically begging for a free ride in a squad car.
