Law of Unintended Consequemces.

Ocean City to ban sale of laser pointers after incident involving U.S. Coast Guard helicopter - pressofAtlanticCity.com:

I'm disappointed in the measely $1,000 fine when the new law says that $11,000 penalties can be assessed!

Over the past year we've had a number of people at KCRG complain about it. ATC never seems to care too much though

With the emphasis that the FAA has put on the incidents, I promise you that ATC cares. It is as easy as filling out a web based form for the pilot/crew too.

I got lasered on approach to CRG a month or so ago. ATC had me call and give them a report when we landed. Looked up the exact house on google maps and gave it to them. Never heard anything futher though. I don't understand why people are still doing this..
