    That's pretty unlikely to happen. Bright lights take dark goggles. You can get ones to block specific wavelengths like I have for this. But it only works for lasers this color and would do nothing for any other laser color. It would take welding goggles to protect against any laser a cop could come across, so it's pretty unlikely they would wear them. Especially at night.

    I saw vids from last year with cops wearing antilaser goggles, but they were only for a blue laser, pretty weak goggles, and wouldn't stop any other color. By the looks of them, they would struggle to stop this one. Laser goggles have two import specs: the wavelengths they will stop and max strength they protect against. The first spec determins the color, the second the darkness of the lens.

    My safety goggles for this one are an amber color, and pretty dark. There is no way I would wear them at night unless I was sure I'd see a laser. And even then it only protects against a blue one. Any other color will pass straight through.

    I have a green laser, and a red one that are almost this stong. And you can get lasers in colors a human can't see.

      In case you were unaware, there are two spikes of atmospheric electromagnetic radiation transmissibility for lasers, one in green and one in IR. If you want to transmit over distance with minimal attenuation, go for those.

        I really want an IR laser, but I'm sure I'd hurt myself. At least in the visible spectrum there is no question if it's on. 😅
