A V1 that detects laser is basically a ticket alarm. I run a V1 also, but if a cop hits you with Lidar a V1 offers no protection, only the alert.

There is a slim chance that you can catch some lidar spray that bounces off the car in front of you in time to slow down, but in general assume if you see a cop running laser and get a laser hit:

1: You weren't going fast enough for him to care
2: He was actually aiming at different vehicle and you just happened to get some scatter.

Around here, often times officers will only run laser on a single lane of traffic like the HOV lane. But if it's their time of the month to make some money they'll just set up shop and pick people off one by one.
