I appreciate the info as I clearly don't know much about this.

Right. With radar, a good detector will start picking up the trap as much as 30 seconds in advance depending on topography and what not, which gives you plenty of time to slow down before they are able to read your speed.
With lasers, as soon as you are able to detect it, they have read your speed. So the idea with laser jamming is to detect that you're being shot and they're trying to lock on, reduce to the speed limit, and then it's good practice to immediately disable the jamming so it's not so apparent that you're doing it, though you're free to continue jamming right up to the gun.
Laser trapping is waaay more prevalent in Edmonton than in Calgary, to the point that a device that does not detect laser is 100% useless.
