Which, if you need an arrow to pull your head out of the dash and out scanning front and back, then a radar detector isn't going to do you any good.

I am constantly scanning both oncoming and similarly flowing traffic curbs to see if there is a car on the side of the road, and the medians for those crossovers they love to park at. When my radar detector goes off, I get even more paranoid about it.
If it's behind you, then it's not a threat.

Not sure if joking....
If behind you it can be a huge threat. Could easily be a cop doing laser or possibly point Ka. The arrows on the V1 are huge for me, when I had mine, it easily gives me a direction to check and verify the threat. The range is great and matches all other companies and I really don't care for traffic cams or the other features.

The V1 gives about a 1 mile indicator so if there's only 1 or 2 dots then the LEO isn't going to be able to lock while moving, his best bet would be to pace if he can get close enough. Laser is protected through something else on the car.

That is one thing I keep looking at investing is a true laser defense.
Though I have been reading up on the all in one solutions, both detection & defense which is really nice, just super pricey.

Laser jamming brings up a slew of legal issues. I don't know how accurate this is but i heard from hearsay, jamming=jail???
