Agreed. I've been saved when I couldn't even see the thing due to not only the sensitivity, but also the counter. I used to drive past a water treatment plant. Seems they use some sort of communications gear that set off the detector. I was approaching one that I drove past on the way to work every day. Was ready to mute and when I looked up the counter said "2". I couldn't see the driveway for the place, but slowed down. When I got close enough, there was a motorcycle cop in the driveway for the place with his radar out.

I've had the laser save my bacon several times which, for me, makes up for the occasional false alert from a GM high mount brake light or an Infinity with adaptive cruise control.
