Man who pointed laser at aircraft lands a 30-month prison sentence
New York (CNN) -- A judge in California has sent a strong message to anyone who thinks that pointing lasers at aircraft is just harmless fun 'n' games. U.S. District Judge Stephen V. Wilson sentenced a 19-year-old man on Monday to 30 months in federal prison for shining a laser pointer at a plane and police helicopter, according to a news release from the U.S. Attorney's Office, which prosecuted the case.

PERFECT JUDGEMENT AND REALLY A STRONG MESSAGE.
I think this a classic example of why parents need to teach right and wrong better. Today, people think silly little things like this is just fun and games and is a big prank, but fail to realize just how dangerous it is to do something like this.
But, who am I kidding, with the way parents defend their kids actions nowadays, more incidents like this are bound to happen and with disastrous consequences.

I don't think they would have found him with just shinning it in the Cessna...What made him get in jail was the stupid mistake of shinning it in a police helicopter!!
Im not justifing what he did at all.
One thing to mess with a civilian, another with a cop. Your probably right.
Glad to see they are finally cracking down on this. Got one right in the windshield one night on short final. I reported it to the tower and I saw the police chopper going up a few minutes later when I was buttoning up the plane. Not sure if it was for that but made me feel good.
