The Canadian police have some nice military nighttime military technology. Amazing video to watch.

Interesting. Might be useful information in a SHTF environment.

The FLIR technology is pretty impressive these days.
I can only imagine what the active forces have...
To: Enlightened1
That is most likely a Wescam. Kind of state of the shelf in current technology. The next generation of IR is supposed to be going to a slightly different part of the spectrum.

Memo: If you aim a visible-light laser at an aircraft remember to also aim a very powerful IR laser at it to blind the IR camera.

Probably been replaced with QUIR.

Dumb sunsabitches.
Throw them naked in the general population at a state pen.
That’ll learn”em.
To: MeganC
I’m not sure that would do anything. FLIR “sees” reflected heat more than visible light.

I call BS on the whole episode.
Only the green, or high powered lasers are dangerous.
This guy had a little laser pointer on a bb gun.
The laser was as dangerous as a laser cat toy.

FLIR sees infrared light. An infrared laser would blind it.

The runner disappeared momentarily while jumping the fence. He was behind a tree of some sort...an evergreen... maybe a cedar or fir tree.
Lesson here is to always carry a fir tree with you if firing lasers at cop copter.

Yes. You are correct. Poorly written by me.
“Only green, high powered lasers” was what I was trying to say.
Meaning I don’t think it was the type that could cause eye damage.
To: Bartholomew Roberts
I have a very small red laser. My cat loves it.

FLIR uses a microbolometer to detect Long-wavelength infrared.
Diode-based visible lasers do not produce IR light.
