Good stuff, thanks for the link. Glad someone in the US justice system decided to use their head instead of their emotions.

He's been in the Canadian Armed Forces since Feb 2014. Buck private now ****ed private.
Actually I was guilty of not reading the whole story thoroughly at first which I mentioned earlier. Thought it was yet another typical laser pointer case.
actually I don't think it matters if the copter was on a beat the traffic tim's run. The laser bounces off all the windows in the chopper and really can mess up the pilots vision for a short while. If he has a bad night and drops a million dollar aircraft into somebodies rooftop its not just kids having hijinx or a waste of tax dollars
I meant it was doing something useful being in the air not ruining kids nights on purpose

The MiG-25 population in North York is not quite bad enough for them to go there yet.
I'll walk myself to the pedantic penalty box
I really need to try that because the US military spend so much on defense. Some of their uniform absorb light rather emitting it. You see an object because it bounces light off an object. An object that absorb light makes it harder to see. I got a pants which touts being infrared absorbing. Thermal, I believe uses infrared of the light spectrum. I believe it might not be 100% effective but it would be better than civilian clothing
FWIW I was visiting a friend and he was showing off his green laser pointer that he uses for star gazing etc. He flashed it around the kitchen and the beam was bouncing off the various reflective surfaces. I ended up with vision issues for the next week.
Those things should be classified as weapons.

I've seen lots of remarks on this elsewhere and stumbled across this tonight. Apparently that camera is made locally, a Wescam MX-10.

I know a guy that works for a company making optical systems for military drones. Lots of good tech here in Ontario.
