<p>Oakland man charged with aiming laser pointer at police helicopter</p>

The chopper was "struck" at least seven times by the laser pointer from the sidewalk of Bancroft Avenue near Seminary Avenue, a CHP spokesman said.
</p>
After the chopper helped ground units quickly locate Palomino, officers recovered the laser pointer from his pocket, according to an affidavit filed Thursday in U.S. District Court in Oakland.
</p>
<p>When he was asked for his name, he gave it as Roberto Palomino -- the name of his twin brother. When the suspect's mother arrived on the scene, she told officers her son's correct name, according to the affidavit.
</p>
A week after the arrest, Palomino called his mother from Santa Rita Jail in Dublin -- a call that was recorded, as all jail calls are -- and told her the laser incident was an "embarrassment." His mother replied, "You should be embarrassed for doing dumb-ass things," according to information written by in the affidavit.

<p>A flight officer aboard the chopper at the time said laser pointers reflect off the interior of the helicopter, which turns the small beam into a large, extremely bright beam. This not only interferes with the flight crew's ability to assist ground units, but can also disorient or temporarily blind the pilot, the CHP spokesman said.</p>
<p>"The flight officer was able to quickly identify the green laser flash because he had previous experience being aimed at with a laser while in the aircraft," Koh wrote.<a href="http://www.starklasers.com/grun-10000mw-starkste-laserpointer-kaufen.html"><strong>laserpointer 10000mw</strong></a></p>
<p>Pointing a laser at an aircraft is dangerous but fairly common. Last year, there were 3,960 illegal laser pointing incidents nationwide, including 734 in California, according to the Federal Aviation Administration.</p>
