I'm at a point now where I simply don't drive that fast on the freeways because I know a lot of laser speed guns are out there. Frankly, if I didn't already have a V1, I probably would not get it or any radar/laser detector now because its effectiveness is now limited where I live.

My V1 picks up laser from cars being targeted ahead of me even when I can't see the cop at the side of the road. It does work. I also have a Lidatek LE-30 (no longer available) and it works too. None of these is a sure thing, but in many cases they buy you time to check your speedometer.
You also need to develop some strategies like always looking as far ahead down the road as you can, using a rabbit, etc.
