Continuing the analogies:
How do you know if a neighbor, who owns a firearm, is not a bank robber as she (he) might well have used it for exactly that purpose?
Well you would SEE her (or him) robbing the bank!
A laser operating with no plane in sight, is not pointing the laser in a flight path.
Again, consider exactly how vast the 'sky' is. Controlled air space surrounds you, it starts at 600 feet and extends to 18,000 feet. In the extremely vast area of just the United States there are just 5,000 (average) planes in the air. Controlled air space is not synonymous with flight path.
At present, in this country, you are innocent until proven otherwise, you are not guilty because a neighbor thinks that you are.
Continuing:. You don't see a neighbor pointing a laser at a plane, you don't hear one, and no aircraft has contacted air traffic controller about targeting by lasers (this part isn't your concern) there is NOTHING TO COMPLAIN ABOUT.
