That certainly does suck. I'm hoping it doesn't happen in the States. I think the laser guns are made by different companies than the radar guns, which is good because the radar manufacturers are in bed with the insurance companies who buy most of the speed guns for the police departments so they can hand out more tickets, thus higher insurance rates. (I love America!)
About the only things I can think of to reduce your susceptibility to laser are:
A) Do not run a front license plate. That is their ideal target. If you live in a fascist state or province which requires these stupid things, do what I did in New York: Scratch, bend, run over and generally beat up the plate, then throw it under the seat and tell every cop who asks that it just fell off yesterday. It worked for me for 4 years.
B)Drive a dark-colored car with a curvy front end. Hidden headlights help too. It can cause the laser to take a couple extra seconds to get a fix on you and if you have a detector you might have a fighting chance.
It's a long shot, but it might help.
