Wired has a story that devices that flip red lights to green are now ciminal.

But I was just impressed to find out that such devices exist!

How cool is this?!

The Safe Intersections Act, part of the transit bill signed Wednesday by President Bush, makes it a misdemeanor for unauthorized users to wield a "traffic signal pre-emption transmitter," a special remote control used by police, firefighters and ambulance drivers to change traffic lights to green as they approach an intersection.
