ON THE LEGAL RESPONSIBILITY FOR LASER ENDANGERING
Abstract
Hooliganism with the use of lasers against vehicles naturally causes legal implications in different
countries.
Laser irradiation of the driver of the vehicle, particularly the pilot of an aircraft, leading to temporary blindness, and even to a loss of visual function can have very serious consequences, fraught with the death of all the road or flight passengers.
The authors analyze the legal framework of liability and penalties for laser hooliganism; offer their mathematical apparatus to the methodology of risk assessment of laser radiation referring to transport operations.
