Good safety tip. Use a telescope or some other means of verifying the target and hit it with laser points. Aim for the optics if you can and blind it. A strong enough laser can destroy the cameras or other optic devices.
Our friends at google say 5 milliwatts but you need more power to get the laser farther. As for destroying a drone, the amount of power required and equipment is probably out of reach of most people.
How strong does a laser have to be to damage a camera?
Lasers having power as low as 5 milliwatts can damage the camera when they are pointed at it for a long time. When the laser power goes beyond 5 milliwatts, the extent of damage increases, and the duration of exposure needed to cause that damage decreases.
How strong does a laser have to be to damage a camera?
The limiting factor is aim. No way anyone will be aiming a laser right into the lens of a camera for more than a split second without a sophisticated rig.

A strong enough laser can cut the fucker into pieces.

Unfortunately and conveniently the drones never fly during the day.
Wai come?!
