...you probably don't want to target the local police helicopter.

Because they'll probably hang around.

And they'll probably send a cop to your house.

And you'll probably spend almost a year in prison.



Hovering at approaching 1,300-feet the crew zoomed in on party and watched as they laughed, gestured up at the helicopter and raised beer bottles aloft.

But just 15 minutes later a response team arrived at the property and as the seriousness of the incident struck Vowles he hurled the laser pen over a fence.
 
It's more about attitude to Law Enforcement than the presence of weapons. People are a lot more respectful, in both directions. It has positives and negatives, and complacency has had some tragic consequences. In particular, the murder of PC Ian Broadhurst.
