From my experience (I used to be a police explorer and ride with the cops when i was younger), it takes a brief period of time for radar to get a lock on your speed and in order for it to be accurate it must be directly in front of you, otherwise it'll read slightly slower due to the laws of physics and component motion at whatnot (thats my theory, not fact). The working range for radar is approximately 300 yards or so, after that the bounce back signal is fairly weak. The signal can be detected for miles though. Laser is a bit different, police can get a reading almost instanstly however it needs to hit a part of the car that is reflective enough to bounce the light back. License plate is the primary target on our cars so if its covered up by one of those clear plate things, it may take several seconds for the office to get an accurate reading on your car. Note that the cop also requires line of sight and the gun cannot go through glass because it will deflect the light. Note that the v1 as well as many laser detectors will false on most GMC suv's. The taillight emiit light in the same freq range as laser guns. Range for laser is theoretically limitless however i wouldn't put it past a mile because of a) atmosphereic irregularities b) line of sight c) size of the reflection area at that distance.
