Yes, it will still pick up laser mounted high. How do I know? It went off when a bogie lasered me. Still got a ticket.

Laser protection really only works when the bogie shoots a car in front of you within a limited distance. And lets assume the car in front of you was not speeding and he does not go after them. Well, now you know he's there because your laser went off.

But 9 times out of ten, by the time you know you've been lasered, it's too late.

Is this in So Cal that you got tagged with laser? I've never gotten a "real" thread from cops using laser. All the laser detections that my V1 have picked up are from those darn Infinitis' laser cruise control and occasionally chevy blazer/tahoe/yukon's 3rd brake lights. All the "real" threads (at least in No. & So. Cal) are on Ka band.
