[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.

[i]So are these lazer's dangerous?[/i]

only if you eat a whole one.

So are these lazer's dangerous?

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

[i]Stimulated Emission[/i]

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.

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

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?

Since I suspect you weren't using binoculars

Never assume anything. Kaesae may have been taking reciept of a very tiny parcel.

please stop I'm at work here, can't keep loling.

When you were scanned, did you see what you came up as?

So they are dangerous but if I blink I will be fine 😯

Will it have left any trace on my eyes that can be detected at all?

You can make your own laser for next time with jelly, two mirrors, tinfoil and a camera flash. Get a pair of laser safety glasses too and you'll be set for a duel.

Its a bloody bar code scanner, not a James Bond planet destroyer. Get over it.

you'll be fine.

were you flying a police helicopter at the time?

When you were scanned, did you see what you came up as?

Can we guess..... I'm reckon he came up as a fruit cake.

I'd imagine all his tinfoil is already in use....

[s]It appears to have affected your brain[/s] actually I remember now - you're normally like this aren't you?

[i]I'm reckon he came up as a fruit cake. [/i]

🙂

you should go the chemist and ask for some anti-laser eye drops which will get rid of any traces of laser beam.
with any luck they will have you sectioned.

Will it have left any trace on my eyes that can be detected at all?

Yes light beams from class 2 lasers have a half life of 4,567,429 years.
they will continue to bounce around inside your eyes long after you have popped your mortal coil.

Is this you earlier this week?

Thread of the day! "I've been assaulted by a bar code scanner". Brilliant.

harden up princess.

My money is on either:

The parcelforce driver makes another delivery;

LOL! Class STW banter on this thread lads... keep it up and it will be up there with Badger!

kaesae might be right. Another scanner attack;this guy blinked and burned an image of his eyes to his eyelids

Next time he tries to do it just get out a small mirror and reflect it back in his eyes.

Will it have left any trace on my eyes that can be detected at all?

Tricky one. If it's burnt your retina, you won't be able to see. So not sure how you'd detect the damage. Have you got a big gap in your vision?

How many fingers am I holding up?

I'vvvvvve flaaashhhhed myyyyysellllf mmmmany aaaa tiiimme.

I'zzze isss fiiiinne.

So they are dangerous but if I blink I will be fine

Will it have left any trace on my eyes that can be detected at all?

It'll be a class 1 or class 2 laser so it's intrinsically safe, i.e. class 1 is weak enough to cause no damage anyway, class 2 would only damage you if you stared at it and prevented your blink reflex working properly mechanically. If you were forced to blink, you're safe. If you didn't blink it wasn't bright enough to hurt you. The ones you need to worry about are the ones you can't see or the ones behind guards that you can't reach unless you're trained - then life gets more fun.

Stop your whining.

Have you ever used a self service till? Or been outside without holding your mothers hand?

barcode scanners use low-power (compared to Trout Light) LEDS not "lazers". MTFU and get over it.

Do you look like this?
