Of course you can still get popped if you aren't alert yourself. Laser is faster than you can react, but you can usually see them before they can legally zap you. Ka is also tough to out brake but again, be alert and you should be okay.
Agreed, Radar detectors are not without flaws and if you take a direct hit from Laser or KA you are likely toast... However, the majority of LEO's run full-time hot or if your lucky they are targeting a driver ahead of you so that you get a hit off of their signal as a early warning... Playing it safe and keeping your eyes open is the best defense, but sometimes people just need to have a bit of fun and a bit of cheap insurance will hopefully keep it that way.. JMHO...
