Yep. Pain in the ass. Unless they decide to try to lase a PD helicopter, there's not much you can do.
On the occasions I’ve been lased I’ve always been tempted to lase them right back with a targeting laser and burn their retinas out. However I think that’s a war crime or something.

I say do it. Can't be a war crime if we aren't in some sort of conflict with backyard laser douchebags. How will they prove it was you anyway?On the occasions I’ve been lased I’ve always been tempted to lase them right back with a targeting laser and burn their retinas out.

Funny story, some local yokel did exactly that, except it was the sheriff 206 with FLIR. They gave the ground boys the exact street address and the patrol cars pulled up, knocked on the door, and kindly asked if the gentlemen inside were the ones stupidly pointing laser pointers at aircraft. The pilots love telling that story now every chance they get.
I got one at 16000 feet while going by Eugene. Then I got another one about the same altitude descending into Phoenix on the Fourth of July.
