My 2 cents
I didn't read the entire thread but I'll put in my 2 cents.
1. Shining a laser pointer at a person (in some states) is aggravated harrassment or battery. FYI, shining laser at a police officer, etc. raises offense to felony status.
2. If it was my kid this jerk was shining laser light at I'd have a few words with him myself.
3. Many schools ban laser pointers except under control and supervision of teaching staff. This would include bringing one to game in that school.
4. Person who suggested that modern cameras take good pictures in gyms w/o flash is way off. Gym lighting is uniformly bad and stress the limits of even the best cameras. I take 1000s of basketball pics per season and would never use a flash. If the subject is close enough to be lit by a flash, (s)he is close enough to be blinded by it, and the converse is true...if the player is far enough away to not be affected by the flash, then why use it? Pros use intense down-firing strobe flashes on the ceiling of major arenas to get those beautiful magazine pics...
