NOVEL USE FOR A CERTIFIED LASER INSTRUMENT

In Florida,, police used a laser to measure exactly how far away a suspect was when witnesses said he masturbated and laughed at them. I want to know why...
Apparently, the man was standing just inside an opened second-story window at his home, holding the relevant body part in his hand and laughing. Police were called and when they arrived the man was lying on his bed in the upstairs bedroom. He was, he said, just preparing for a post-shower nap but officers reported that his hair was not damp, and it did not appear that he had recently showered.
The distance between the witnesses' doorstep and the man's bedroom window was 80 feet, an officer said after measuring it with a certified laser instrument.
The man said he was peeing out of his bedroom window, and not masturbating at all. Well, that's good to know.
