Pointing a laser at a police helicopter is pretty stupid

Who needs a surface-to-air missile when a laser pointer will do?

A 21-year-old Overland Park man is in a whole shit load of trouble after allegedly pointing a a green laser at a police helicopter and temporarily blinding the pilot, according to the Star. The guy with the laser pointer (they still make those?) could be facing federal charges for messing with a flight crew. 

The chopper was reportedly hovering over a wreck near Interstate 435 and Wornall Road when the guy pointed the laser at the helicopter’s cockpit a bunch of times.
