Apparently there is an active subculture (sic) of morons whose ummm... hobby consists of 'dotting' things and people with lasers. High power lasers can be bought online, to quote from one such site (which I have no intention of publicising)
"Hand held battery system up to 200 milliwatts of continuous optical power. Use for serious special effects star pointing, optical intimidation and experimentation. Includes a colliminator for ultra long range effect."
(Bolding mine).

The mind truly boggles, catch them and indulge in some genital intimidation say I
