[Adopted 3-4-1999 by Ord. No. 1241 (Ch. 53, Art. V, of the
1970 Borough Code)]
The purpose of this article is to regulate laser beam pointer
devices which are being used by individuals in such a manner as to
harass, annoy and potentially cause bodily harm to those receiving
contact with the laser beam. It has further been determined that said
devices may cause retinal damage from contact with the eye, and the
Borough's Police Department has received numerous complaints from
individuals who have been exposed to unwanted and undesired laser
beam contact which interferes with their peace and good order and
potentially may damage their eyes.
It shall be unlawful for any person to focus, point or shine
a laser beam directly or indirectly upon another person or animal
in such a manner as to reasonably cause harassment or annoyance or
alarm to said person or animal.
