Legally stopping an illegal laser show before it starts?

So off topic who cares

"Last week they did a stage for Skrillex,"

Funny, that horrible DJ was in Reno a few weeks ago.

BTW a location would be nice. Someone may know a local contact to address this issue.

Yeah, that music is a disgrace to all EDM, IMO. Frankly it makes me want to vomit but I used it for reference to show that this illegal group is "lazering to the face" for well over 1,500+ people events.

I have contacts for NV, but that's not going to help you.

405nm to me is super dangerous because from what I know. The power levels can be very high but the apparent brightness seems low...

Can't say I have never done a laser show with non approved gear. (back in the late 90's early 2002) With my ALC-60x, but I made a aluminum shield that was adjustable to physically stop the beams from getting into the crowd. Then again this was with my redline beamscan. But knowing what I know now, and reading and learning. My shows are done at home, for myself until I have proper paperwork.

I would like to know how this turns out.

It bothered me for about 6 months now, but it was always one of those out of site out of mind situations. The problem arises recently when they have stated they are the biggest and best and advertising their illegal shit in some of the more respected venues and shows. I honestly only see their events getting more out of control and they need a walk up call, because I am out way to much money to just let this slip by. I mean the 3m rule to them means they push the projectors 3m back from the audience and blast them full effect (I'm serious)

We're all out alot of money in this hobby, but, in my opinion, that shouldn't be your driving force. Shouldn't have let it slip by *before* you invested.

Not trying to rub the wrong way. Just my thoughts. And no, I have never done an illegal show.
