[QUOTE="smartcooky, post: 676823, member: 20605"] The UAR need to address this and find the people responsible. The trouble is that it is damned difficult to do. A laser beam is invisible until it hits a target and its source is pretty much invisible for anyone who isn't within a small fraction of a degree out to about 10 degrees either side of its path, depending on the type of laser. I think what needs to happen is a pre-arrangement to have the kicker to note the approximate area of the crowd they see the laser in and to tell the referee who then relays that information to the authorities. All the ground cameras except one to look at the crowd at that end of the ground while the kick is being taken and the subsequent video is searched for someone pointing a laser. If the laser is coming from outside the ground (which is very unlikely anyway) then the kicker will be able to tell, and there won't be a lot that can be done. Another way might be to put a bounty on the laser user; broadcast a ground announcement before the match that there is a reward of, say US$5000, for anyone who catches a person using a laser, and prosecution plus a lifetime ban from all grounds for the person so caught. If the local fan who uses the laser knows that people are now actively watching for him every time the opposition kicks for goal, it might act as a deterrent. [/QUOTE]
