NYPD helicopter chases down 2 NJ boys after they point laser
BY RODRIGO TORREJON
A New York Police Department helicopter chased down two Bergen teenagers after one of them aimed a high-powered laser at the chopper, authorities said.At about 9:22 p.m. Wednesday, a 16-year-old from Cliffside Park and a 17-year-old from Little Ferry went to a high point on Cecelia Place, in Cliffside Park, and pointed a high-powered green laser at a NYPD helicopter patrolling over the Hudson River, said Bill Maer, the borough spokesman.
The NYPD helicopter was able to pinpoint where the laser was coming from and identify the two teens by the car they were driving, said NYPD Detective Martin Brown. After tracking the teens down, the chopper hovered around the area where they were until Cliffside Park Police arrived, said Maer.

Never play laser tag with a helicopter.
Just sayin…
Lasers should be met with tracers!
Define “high powered”.
Bet’cha it wasn’t anything more “high powered” then a 5mW classroom pointer.
Not that that makes pointing any laser at any aircraft any less dangerous.
But calling 5mW “high powered” vs 2000mW, is like comparing a 22LR to a 308………..oh……wait……
“Some days you’re the windshield and some days you’re the bug.” Shouldn’t be bugging the popo by bouncing a laser off the windshield of their chopper. Dumbasses.
Just cause it’s fugly as all hell don’t mean it won’t work.
Enjoyed seeing that home brewed Luty 380. Nice to see some (semi)professional work instead of the usual low tech amateur work. Too bad the post was two years old, I couldn’t get the video of the actual shooting to play. Or maybe it was my android kindle?
Played fine for me yesterday, Tox.
Seen worse. Heck, the Beretta Neos is a production gun and this better looking. His choice to build in .380 also makes it easier to build….gee, I have a few thousand .380 cases. Hmm….
Slightly resembles the German MP-40.
The duo were apprehended and charged with multiple crimes, including second-degree interference with transport, third-degree aggravated assault on a police officer and obstructing governmental action, said Maer. The teens were released to their parents Wednesday night, he said.
Talk about prosecutorial overreach.
The process will be the penalty no matter what happens.
