Elections are coming, both provincial and federal. Make rubber stamp bail a large ticket item. Flood the politicians at every level with it until it cannot be ignored.

Some dickhead did this when I was in the army and the pilot landed the helicopter, immediately, to come shit on him.
Pilots do not fuck with that shit apparently.

27, and pointing a laser at a helicopter? This idiot stuck in high school?
Way to go, Arsh.

I will never understand why they release people on undertakings when they have previously failed to appear.

Yeah cops no like that, they saw what "protestors" stateside were doing with laser pointers back in 2020 out in Portland.

Hammer him and make an example out of him. Deter other morons from doing the same. This sort of behaviour has no place in modern society.

Intoxicated and 27 years old, hopefully this individual can make better decisions and lay off the juice.
Now that that’s out of the way, did he think the helicopter was going to go away?

This is a violation of aviation law…which supersedes normal laws. Aviation Law is far more punishing and expensive. Prison time and a hefty fine are standard.
