Seems a bit calling the kettle black. The fact that you were turning off the light to not be detected says who was really not up to no good. You were probably shining the light on the folks that were staying in the next suite from you. Who won't want to play on the beach instead of in a suite.
Why not say it like it is and instead of rationalizing your actions as righteous?
BS…just another story of immature flashlight owners who were lucky enough not to have to eat those lights after lighting up people in public places. Very much like laser pointers in theaters of the past.
If you used the light to stop a crime then cool. If used for harassment you go to jail.
I agree what you did sounds fun and is something I, myself, would enjoy doing. But, I believe behavior like this will eventually result in stricter laws and restrictions on our hobby. Right now, most people think of flashlights as harmless. Folks will eventually start realizing the potential harm that can be caused by them. Behavior like you described will accelerate the process. May sound far fetched to you. Mark my words. They will, unfortunately, will prove true.
With great power comes great . . .
EDIT: I just realized that you called the kettle black again. You're calling me a party popper after that story of yours?
So what would have happened had some children seen these people having sex. Indecent exposure maybe? Maybe you’re state allows that sort of thing, but its frowned upon where I come from.
And like I said in my original post, I had the light on the other people (just walking along) for a split second and never the same people twice. If you’re that hyper sensitive to shining lights on people then why are you on this forum. It was all harmless!
Not condemning you Yourrid…let’s not play with what if’s…let’s show that you were “illuminating” things best left un-seen…plus it ain’t illegal till yer caught
Sweet that you have a mega pymp thrower though…closest thing I have is a Convoy C8 and an Ultrafire F13 I just got thru tweaking…
Wonder what you would have done though if one of those kids would’ve popped you with a 2 watt laser?
Always a 2 way street isn’t it? I have seen times that I might have enjoyed burning one on the beach during a storm, would probably have ignored a light though, not scattered. And I’ve seen times that a little sand dance in the rain might also have been quite enjoyable. Not like any little kids were gonna be out late at night during a Thunderstorm right? But there’s always 2 sides.
Were I the one in the 10th floor Condo, I probably would not have been able to resist a little 600Kcd beach play my own self… just sayin!
If someone had a 2 watt laser, I’d fly down 10 stories of stairs (the elevators were super slow) and ask them where I could buy one. That’s after my eyes stop bleeding from the awesome power of his laser, of course.
