The detector typically won't catch any laser signal until the nice officer already has you...
This is true... Sometimes you can get lucky and catch laser bounce before you are actually the target of the laser... Sometime you can get lucky where the 1st hit on your vehicle is not sufficient, you get the alert and slow down before the next deadly hit is registered...

Laser detectors are for the most part useless, unless you happen to get lucky... For true Laser protection, you need high powered shifters and Veil coating...

Even with all that, your car is still not invisible and as the old saying goes, if it can happen, it will....
