Does anyone own one of these ? (or something similar)

It would be cool for about 2 minutes and then realise that there is sod all use for a laser of that price. Just get a cheap laser pen.
 
They are legal... but if you shine them into the sky and at aircraft you WILL be tracked down and arrested.

Guys shined it at a police heli on Traffic Cops, hooked them in the imaging and got the exact address and took them away :D
 
They are legal...

No, they are illegal.

UK and most of Europe are now harmonized on Class 2 (<1 mW) for General presentation use laser pointers or laser pens. Anything above 1 mW is illegal for sale in the UK (import is unrestricted). Health and Safety regulation insists on use of Class 2 anywhere the public can come in contact with indoor laser light, and the DTI have urged Trading Standards authorities to use their existing powers under the General Product Safety Regulations 2005 to remove lasers above class 2 from the general market.

the OP linked to a class 4 laser....
