Why doesn't someone just go to his house and tell him to stop?

There is no power limit for pointers in the UK at the moment.

Actually, that's not *technically* correct. There are no laws governing the possession of laser pointers or their importation. The laws however say that laser pointers >1mW cannot be sold within the UK. I can't remember what act dictates it, but there is one. It's on the HPA website *somewhere*.

Snip government website

Laser pointers sold in the UK must be classified in accordance with the current British Standard (BS EN 60825) on laser safety. This document specifies requirements for the manufacturers of laser products to ensure that the risk of accidental exposure is minimised through the use of engineering control features and product labelling, and by specifying minimum requirements for the supply of product information to allow for its safe use.

No actual power limit.

Hmmm ... just going by what I read on the HPA site about some consumer safety act.

My apologies.

There are recomendations regarding the "unsupervised" use of class III and above but no statute yet (though I believe the papers are being reviewed)
