I get a kick out of this law everytime I see or hear anyone talking about a laser pointer...
I found it interesting that 1) we share the same law as a Police Officer, 2) that we both have to be on duty. At least I see it as giving the PO a more important sounding definition of being on duty...
In Oregon, a Class A Mis. is an arrestable offense. I have a keen eye out for laser pointers, and wait till I do find someone 'screwing' with 'some' guard. <evil grin> hehehehe
Anyone else have any similar laws that directly pertain to Private Security AND Police Officers at the same time?
