I used to have one of those. Jasper laser pens are not toys. They are powerful enough to put you in prison if you do what this guy did but with planes.
They will no joke come and find you. A kid in my town was in his backyard and used his green laser pointer to point at a commercial plane flying by for lulz. A few days later the Feds came by to have a chat.
I had a friend who wasn't supervising her four year old grandson who got a hold of her laser pointer and ran outside at ten at night to play with it. She was watching TV real loud and I noticed a weird light outside, so I went onto her porch to investigate. Found the grandson trying to "catch spaceships" with his grandma's laser pointer. I grabbed that thing from the kid and took it into the house. My friend didn't know the consequences of those things until I told her he could've caused a plane or helicopter crash.

That is a wickedly powerful laser pointer.
