Will I always be alerted?
Aside from VASCAR, Will I be always alerted when a cop gets my speed?
Whether or not I have time to slow down or not, will the radar detector always alert when my speed is read?
It could be an alert to slow down or an alert to pullover and wait for the cop to write you a ticket.
An example was when I was using my friends 8500, I was doing 80 in a 60 at 2AM… when I heard the Laser alert I knew I was caught…. I started to pullover even before the cop turned on his lights and got behind me.
On the other hand, can you use this to hide? If there were more cars I would have exited and stopped at a gas station and wait for awhile because there will be many cars between me and the cop.
I was bored……

No, no RD is 100% foolproof...None (especially not with POP or Laser).

This sometimes happens with laser/instant on.

I know people who have ran/hide from the LEO's with/without detectors, most with detectors and its not a good idea id say.
