Original Note:
This is not a sniper laser. It is a laser "dazzler" used by riot police to temporarily blind "rioters". In this case, it appears to be being misused to target a peaceful reporter but it is not attached to a sniper rifle or anything of the sort. https://x.com/inespal99/status/1856636406451331546?t=oYbB4PeIQ284QmjSTwnGbQ&s=19
