      OK, but, to shoot a handheld laser at a camera and hit the CCD, you have to be in it’s field of view. You could shoot it with a gun outside of it’s field of view. So, is it a greater risk to make a noise, and not be capture on CCTV, or be silent in full view of a law enforcement camera? All things to bear in mind when you’re figuring out the best ways to destroy these things.

        This seems almost dishonest real unfamiliar with the subject in how it’s presented. The immediacy of the attention you get is really important: A gunshot can be heard for over a kilometer in any direction, even through walls. A laser pointer is both much less noticible and much less dangerous to bystanders.

        edit: wow, I phrased that like an asshole, sorry.
