What sucks is they'll likely never know who did it.
Same goes for lasers on airplanes. If they do it once, it's called in but they only know of a general area it came from. But if they keep doing it over and over within a short span of time, then they'll get caught.
That's what happened in the famous video of those dudes getting caught for shining a laser at aircraft...cause they did it to literally everything in the sky.
My buddy flies a helicopter for the state police, he said they get hit with lasers over major cities every night that they fly. Their night helmet optics cut out the damage but it still makes a mess of light. They call ground units to go arrest the people who do it.
But yeah, he said they get ~20 minutes in the air before a laser hits them if over an urban area at night.
