No green light for driver with traffic signal gadget
Tuesday, April 18, 2006; Posted: 9:01 a.m. EDT (13:01 GMT)
LONGMONT, Colorado (AP) -- A man who said he bought a device that allowed him to change stop lights from red to green received a $50 ticket for su ion of interfering with a traffic signal.
Jason Nic of Longmont, Colorado, said the device, which he bought on eBay for $100, helped him cut his time driving to work.
"I guess in the two years I had it, that thing paid for itself," he told the Daily Times-Call on Wednesday.
Nic was issued a citation March 29 after police said they found him using a strobe-like device to change traffic signals. Police confiscated the device.
"I'm always running late," police quoted Nic as saying in an incident report.
The device, called an Opticon, is similar to what firefighters use to change lights when they respond to emergencies. It emits an infrared pulse that receivers on the traffic lights pick up.
Nic was cited after city traffic engineers who noticed repeated traffic light disruptions at certain intersections spotted a white Ford pickup passing by whenever the patterns were disrupted.
City traffic engineer Joe Olson said engineers plan to update the city's Opticon system this year to block unauthorized light-changing signals.

What gets me is the ticket is for "su ion of interfering with a traffic signal". WTF?
Those devices are the ing . However, I'd rather use them to cause accidents on people who drive wrecklessly, rather than for my own personal advantages.
You could seriously up some Tahoes with one of those.
