Laser pointers may seem like a toy, office tool, or game. Pointed to the sky, lasers are a serious threat. A laser can incapacitate pilots, putting thousands of passengers at risk every year. Pilots reported 13,304 laser strikes to the FAA in 2023.
Pointing a laser at an aircraft is a federal crime. U.S. law enforcement agencies and the Federal Aviation Administration may seek criminal and civil prosecution against violators.
People who shine lasers at aircraft face FAA fines of up to $11,000 per violation and up to $30,800 for multiple laser incidents. The FAA issued $120,000 in fines for laser strikes in 2021.
You missed the point. Read up on pointing lasers at aircraft. Big no-no.
Exactly my point.
I wouldn't want any of you getting locked up for that shit...
Because people in NJ MOST CERTAINLY HAVE BEEN
But instead that warning to frens is somehow "bootlicking"...
Some need to come back to reality...
