Idk, if your laser misses and hits an aircraft you're in for a much worse time than simply firing a gun in public (as long as your bullet doesn't hit someone)
That may be the stupidest justification for shooting a gun in the air that I've ever heard, and I have heard some doozies. The odds that you'll accidentally intersect an aircraft are astronomically low, and even if you do, it'll only be for a fraction of a second at most unless you are intentionally tracking the aircraft. To compare that to the danger of firing bullets in the air is absurd. If your best plan for disabling flock cameras is to shoot them with guns, please redirect your activism elsewhere because that is dangerously irresponsible.
Whoa there, chill out. I'm not trying to justify anything and I didn't say anything about shooting a gun into the air at an airplane.
My point was that hitting aircraft with a laser is pretty much a fuck you in the ass federal offense, whereas firing a gun in public, into the ground for example, will most likely only be a local or state level charge, if anything at all, especially if there's no injuries or proved intent of harm.
Also, IANAL.
I am chill, but I have no interest in mincing words: what you said was very stupid and can (and does) get people killed. Don't shoot guns in the air. If that's the only plan you can think of, do nothing until you think of a better plan.

Pointing laser pointers at planes is a federal crime because air traffic is federally regulated. Reckless discharge (steady lads) in a high traffic area, which is where flock cameras are located, falls under state jurisdiction because those laws are state regulated.
The jurisdiction in which a crime is committed does not dictate the severity of the punishment - while lasering a plane generally carries a severe punishment, it's unlikely it would even be noticed by the crew unless you're specifically targeting that plane. It's certainly going to carry a lower sentence than reckless discharge (steady) in a populated area during the commission of a crime.
What?! Lol. No man. Just no
