And I'd be worried about "being brought to the attention of the authorities" for being seen pointing lasers at infrastructural things such as electricity pylons --- do people tend to complain about having their buildings etc visibly surveyed?
I have been successful by appearing in tourist class - GPS out of sight, but with the antenna facing skyward, and recording done by camera. Using a laser measurement tool will improve survey accuracy, but may increase the chances of raising questions. And use judgement about detailed survey of military or secure government buildings.
