The punishment seems very lenient considering how severe others have been punished for similar stuff, and considering how dangerous it actually is.  Are there anti-laser glasses/windshields they can use or is there no such thing?

 

This is how lasers look to pilots when used on them from the ground :

Explanation of what went on please?

 

What's lasering? What's the punishment?

Someone told Luke and Linus at CES 2017 to "Unban the legend known as Jerakl" and that's about all I've got going for me. (It didn't work)

How do you manage to aim your laser at  a tiny moving target which is least likely to be in your line of sight from your point of view?

Pointing strong lasers at aircraft

It can be distracting, and can cause accidents

 

People are arrested and even jailed for these kind of things

Using laser pointing devices aimed at aircraft, effectively blinding the pilot for a short duration.

That's why when you get shipwrecked or something, find a mirror, because aiming the reflection at them will tell them you're alive.

 

You'll get sent to jail afterwards tho since you blinded the pilots...

i really wonder how they found the guy with the laser than the pilot lost the control of the wheel in air? and crashed into a cloud full of naked pictures? and all the naked pictures were made by hollywood star? that's why he got sentenced? the only way it would make sense...

A simple Google search would have kept your mouth shut from false information. I said shipwrecked, or basically, for a SOS signal.

You can signal SOS using a mirror or any material that reflects the sunlight. Aimed towards an airplane, a ship or any rescue vehicle will make you more visible. More so reflecting the light three short times, three long times, three short times you will let them know that you are in trouble.

Back in the late 1980s, Joel Slaughter, a 48 year old oral surgeon was in the middle of a two-week raft trip down the Colorado River in Arizona, when his raft got caught in a wave. In the confusion, the rope wrapped around his leg and dragged him across the rocks. Fortunately, his 24-year-old son rushed to him and, at the last moment, cut the rope. But Joel was left with a fractured knee and pelvis and a dislocated hip. He needed medical treatment fast. Fortunately, another member of the team knew how to signal SOS. Ho took a mirror and held it to reflect the sunlight. Using Morse code he spelled out an “SOS” message. Within a few minutes, the pilot of a jet airliner flying 35,000 feet overhead saw the glint of the rafter’s mirror, and realized someone was in trouble below. He called for help, and soon a rescue helicopter arrived to lift the injured Joel to safety [Associated Press].

There are similar real stories of people lost on islands who signaled SOS with a mirror and saved their lives.
