It is illegal to use a laser pointer to annoy a police officer.

Status: Still Enforced / On the Books

The Law Explained

State law strictly prohibits aiming a laser pointer at a peace officer, police dog, or police horse with the intent to harass or annoy them. This modern law was passed to address the rising nuisance of people distracting law enforcement and potentially causing temporary blindness. Flashing a laser at a mounted unit's horse is a guaranteed way to get arrested.
