no laser can be fired from a moving vehicle. The cop that was following me didn't trip the K or Ka band on my V1, only the laser. And he pulled over the other car after trailing him and not from a sneaky hideout behind a tree.
What impressed me was that detectors will only pick up laser if its pointed directly at the detector. And my V1 picked it up twice.
I think if I'm not mistaken that K and Ka radar guns have to be fired from stationary points (by law in some states). I was told that if you were pulled over to ask to see the the laser gun readout and that the officer was obligated to show it to you. They don't tell you that you have this right apparently.
The V1 was the only detector to pick up laser from a pursuing vehicle in one of the recent evaluations (posted on this forum). Laser certainly travels through glass, isn't that how my EZ-Pass for tolls works?
My understanding is that radars are only illegal in Virginia and Canada.
