But I have seen repeated many, many times on this forum that laser detection is useless ("get a jammer" says everyone). I have to say that I feel as if I have been saved by laser detection several times. Now, maybe the officer just decided not to write me a ticket, or I wasn't going fast enough to warrant him pulling me over (though in most cases I was going 70-75 on a 55 or 65 road). I get a laser alert and slow down, and I have never gotten a ticket with a laser gun when I had my RD in my car.
I recently got a laser ticket, but I was in a rental (where I wouldn't have been able to have any other devices aside from maybe a suction cup mount RD), and I stupidly didn't have my RD up.
But at least for me, in my experience, laser warnings serve some purpose.
