Think of laser as the cop using a laser pointer to get your speed. Now for a radar detector to pick it up that beam is going to have to be pretty close to the location of the head on the radar detector. But if it gets close enough the detector will go off, but like you said by then its to late.
Now think of a car infront of you and the cop shooting laser. The chances are very slim that any part of the beam will bounce off the car in the exact direction you need for your radar detector to pick it up. That beind said if the cop has bad aim or hits the car just right in front it is possible.
