Although laser/lidar is used a lot around us, I still have my detector go off for KA.
Hell, in the last few years I've had like 25-1 with radar being used more than laser. It'll freak you out the first time laser goes off though lol. But as others have said, you wont really get any warning with a laser detector other than pull over(if speeding).
Laser jammers are not illegal.

If the radar detector saves you once, its paid off...

I haven't used escort live(thats the app service that connects via bluetooth, right?). But, any one of the new detectors+live seems like it would be pretty effective. Plus, using escort live with an 8500 or something basically makes it a 9500i since you can record lock outs and such-so it might be cheaper going that route?

I utilize my detector as a tool. Most of the time I'm not speeding around, but its just one more "check" to help me watch speed/be careful.
