If you have ever used a Lidar gun you'd see, at 100 meters the beam is only about a foot in diameter, and cops USUALLY point it at your plate of lights. Also, it does not deflect like radar does... If you get Laser alerts all the time, either your detector has problems or its picking up the car... (Something on the inside of our cars sets it off)
And once the guy has pointed it at your car and had pulled the trigger, it's over, he has your speed... Laser uses direct pulses and takes no time to be read by the gun, and I mean NO TIME, only a jammer or absorber or whatever it's called can truly protect against laser... Even then, when the officer gets an error, he'll move to a different part of the car, where you don't have a jammer...
(Btw, the error messages Lidar guns give are sometimes displayed with "Speed 88", LOL!!! So sometimes you can get royally screwed)
(My info comes from using and being half trained to use a Lidar gun properly from the CHP... They have a repair shop across from where I used to work... I tried everything to beat that SOB, lol)
