Fortunately in my area the LEO's don't have laser and don't use POP mode on their radar guns because just about all traffic enforcement have their radar guns hard mounted in their vehicles. The only ones that don't (as far as I'm aware) are the motorcycles, and I hardly ever see them out in my area. But even when I do, they're usually not using the POP mode either...

Also, in regards to laser, even though the beam is not as "pinpoint" as many people think, the beam itself doesn't refract as easily as radar does. This is why your radar detector, even though it says it can detect laser, is fairly inefficient at giving you any decent length of warning time with laser as it is with radar. The detector typically won't catch any laser signal until the nice officer already has you...
