[Closed] Parcelforce assault with lazer? any advice on the law concerning this?

[i]My questions is what's my legal stand point on this? [/i]

can you prove injury?

Are you living in the USA?

I think I'd have punched him by now!!!

Kick him repeatedly in the balls saying 'sorry my foot slipped'

Anyone know about lazer's and will it have left any trace on my eyes, any damage?

I think I'd have punched him by now!!!

perhaps they read your PO thread and they are out to get you...cant say more, they monitor EVERYTHING

Did he manage to scan you in the end though?

The problem with our society is that I would end up in court over it, however I am looking to prove this if I can!

Hmmm,watching this thread with interest.

I was hit in the eye this morning with a laser.

Admittedly it was the retina scanner.

Yesterday too.

Though that was the supermarket self-checkout scanner.

😯 🙄

[i]will it have left any trace on my eyes[/i]

get someone to take a flash photograph of your face.

If your eyes look red it means some of the laser light is still in them trying to get out.

😀

WTF parcel force delivered something! Legally I think it's fine just uncommon

Did he manage to scan you in the end though? s

Well, there's absolutely NO EXCUSE to scan someone THERE! I'd complain...in writing.

Was he wearing a black suit, black tie and sunglasses. Have you seen any aliens recently?

Actually, forget I asked, you probably can't remember.

Typing stuff on the internet probably won't help your case. Being able to see after having your eyes lazored out doesn't stand up very well in court.

Barcode scanners do just that anyway, they're constantly jumping around trying to scan a barcode. Since I'm anticipating you don't have a barcode in your eyes, it won't be interested in them and will go and look elsewhere.

If I were you I would stick with the Royal Mail.

They don't use those dangerous Laser Scanners normally, and the service is very good

Especially considering the very low prices.

😆

you've been brain-wiped by an alien memory blaster

what year do you think it is ?

(don't worry, the probing is not in order to impregnate you)

Well, there's absolutely NO EXCUSE to scan someone THERE! I'd complain...in writing.

make sure you convert the text to barcodes so they know you are serious

Don't worry, you're not alone, I'm scared of red light too.

Anyone know about lazer's...

Depends upon what the the laser owned... 🙄

Copper to kaesae: Did he laser you?
kaesae: Yes
Copper to postie: Did you laser him?
kaesae: No

Case closed.

He has to scan your retina to make sure he's delivering to the right person...obviously.

So are these lazer's dangerous?

Quite a confrontational chap aren't you. This stuff seems to happen to you quite frequently. It does rather look like you rub people up the wrong way, maybe time to address your own issues.

only if you eat a whole one.

So are these lazer's dangerous?

They often have sharks attached to them, which I reckon is pretty freakin dangerous.

So are these lazer's dangerous?

Depend's if it's got a knife?

Serious MTFU you great jessie!

So are these lazer's dangerous?

Pedantic part: As others have pointed out they are lasers (it's an acronym - look it up).

And no they aren't dangerous.

So are these lazer's dangerous?

I doubt it. You don't see the checkout workers, well not the day shift ones, at Tesco with their faces melted off.

What is a LAZER?

Only when mounted to a shark

those two words will have hora posting some sexual shenanigans from his past in no time if the recent toilet roll thread is anything to go by.

You could borrow my Buzz Light year to attack the Evil Postie Zorg using Buzz's super powerful defensive wrist mounted laser.

Not a mutated seabass?

he has been scanned by radioactivity 😯

Do you have super powers yet?
is there a spider near you that could bite you?

see if you could get the postie to use his 'lazer' to melt the decking and garden furniture parked outside ASDA

3 times is taking the piss.. I would've let a tyre down or hit in the stomach... Must've been something wrong with my arm, or your tyre, must be catching!

I would certainly report it... But I also know trying to get ParcelFarce to take anything seriously is like getting blood from a stone.

Was he using the laser to scan a barcode or cut the parcel in half?

Lasers must be CE certified and comply with EN60825-1:2007 in order to be legally placed on the market in the EU. You could check the scanner for a CE mark and request a copy of the Deceleration of Conformity from the manufacturer. This should be publicly available.

In the event of a potential claim where you can prove partial loss of vision your legal team can request sight of the technical construction file to verify the claims in the DoC.

However, if he was scanning, not cutting*, it's likely a Class 2M laser, in which case you are protected by your natural blink aversion, unless you were using an optical instrument to look into the beam (magnifying glass, microscope, binoculars). Or you had matchsticks in your eyes.

Since I suspect you weren't using binoculars and probably blinked, I'd recommend you MTFU.

* If he was cutting, it'll be a Class 4 laser but should be in a sealed room and protected by interlocks.

I suspect innocent bystanders were also in danger from the reflections off kaesaes tinfoil hat?
