In 3 years or so of my V1, I've encountered maybe 10 laser blips. probably 5 were false. And this is driving through the highways of NY, PA, and MA. Lasers are a bish to use and are really expensive. Around here, 95% of cops have Ka. Laser isn't exactly "harder" for a detector to pick up, it's just that the laser beam is so narrow and the odds of it reflecting off a sign or other thing is minimal. Plus the laser gun cannot always be on like a radar gun. I don't worry about laser very much at all.
