A Fresno, California, man has been sentenced by a federal judge to 18 months in prison after having pleaded guilty to firing a laser at a police helicopter.

On Monday, Michael Alvarez became the latest person to be convicted in a string of prosecutions brought by Karen Escobar, an assistant United States attorney who is believed to be the nation’s most aggressive prosecutor for such cases.

As Ars reported last November, Alvarez fired a green laser at a police helicopter shortly after midnight on October 22. The Fresno Police helicopter, Air-1, was responding to reports of a domestic disturbance as it was struck three times. The pilot, who was not named, was hit in the eyes directly each time. Air-1 then followed a car traveling northbound on Highway 99 and began to shine its searchlight directly at it. The officers aboard Air-1 radioed down to their colleagues on the ground, where they quickly located a white Toyota Corolla and started following it.

Apple is reportedly enforcing some of its privacy rules more stringently for apps in its App Store. According to a report by 9to5Mac, the iPhone maker started removing apps that share location data with third-parties without "explicit consent" from users.

Apps that have been removed from the App Store in this instance have been cited for violating sections 5.1.1 and 5.1.2 of the App Store Review Guidelines, which states: "The app transmits user location data to third parties without explicit consent from the user and for unapproved purposes." According to a letter sent to developers that have had their apps taken down, they must "remove any code, frameworks, or SDKs" that aid location sharing without clear user consent and then resubmit their app for review.

The details of Apple's App Store Review Guidelines suggest the company wants developers to not only be more clear in asking permission to collect users' location data, but to also be more clear about how and where that data is being used and transmitted after collection.
