What does POP detection do?

On a separate note, this thread has me wondering if a radar detector is even worth it anymore with all these car-based false-positives? More and more police / highway patrols are switching to LIDAR, and if your detector goes off with a LIDAR hit it's probably too late anyway as the cop already has you.

Not sure if the false-positives are worth dealing with for the few remaining situations / locations that use K or Ka band.

Has anyone tried installed a LIDAR shifter into their F30? That to me seems like it would be worthwhile. Of course, it's difficult to tell if the darn system is actually installed properly and working, so that's a concern too...
