First time posting on this forum. I got really mad at the moment and flew where the guy was lasering from. Maybe not a good idea, but luckily I didn't find anything wrong with the camera sensor. I was so mad when it happened but cooled off. Well here are a couple of pictures I took that night. Video link:
I have no knowledge of the federal laws, but the CA laser-pointing law applies only to aircraft capable of transporting people. You can charge the person with a PC 594(a) for vandalism if it can be proven that the laser actually harmed any part of the drone, and an attempted vandalism (PC 664/594(a)) could be charged if there was proof that the specific laser used COULD have damaged any part of the drone. But you would have to recover the laser to see how powerful it was, and the damage it was capable of creating.
