It is not a good idea to aim a laser at any aircraft for the obvious safety reasons - not to mention that it is illegal, but it is really idiotic to aim one at a police helicopter - most of which are equipped with the FLIR system (forward-looking infrared imaging system). The system has the capability of identifying you at night all the way down to your drunken bald head...


It also doesn't help to further taunt them by holding up your empty bottle of booze!
