I agree, this has been going on for some time, and must be stamped out.
This is a deliberate act to injure the pilot, endanger a plane, bring down a plane. All of these would be dealt with very harshly by the courts.
In this case, the police helicopter was 'hit' investigating the previous incidents, this would pretty much destroy the argument that it was an
accident.
Could the authorities convince a court 'beyond all reasonable doubt' that the person arrested was the the one firing the laser? In some cases I'm
sure they could.
A well publicised trial and lengthy prison term might be enough to nip this thing in the bud - I hope so.
