Guy lights up a police helicopter with red laser, defeating the FLIR. They got him though.

- That red laser was particularly effective at temporarily defeating the FLIR camera. Glad to see the system recovered pretty much instantly every time.
- Did you see the map overlay showing the home address? That was pretty slick.
- Not sure on the power level of that particular laser, but I am going to take a guess that it was one of those $10 lasers on ebay. They are around 50mw (10x legal limit)l. Not enough to burn things, but WAY brighter than the little laser pointers you tease the cat with. I think a person spending the coin on say, a 1W laser knows to not point any laser at aircraft.
