I've heard that a lot of cities have already converted over to the sensors that you need to flash a certain pattern to get it to change.

Plus, the fines if you are caught are pretty steep.

50$....in that guys case. He used it for two years or something before getting ticketed. I would consider that a pretty good deal, I would be willing to pay that. lol

The old stuff used to work at one of two frequencies; 10Hz or 14Hz. I almost built one. But it wouldn't be that hard to use a camera to detect the infrared flash strobe.

Looks like it's a federal crime now:

from http://www.i-hacked.com/content/view/176/44/
(Which describes how to build one....)

It is now a FEDERAL Offense to Sell or Use any Traffic Preemption device by an authorized user. This has been passed by the Safe Intersections Act of 2005, an addition to the tranist bill signed recently by President Bush. The Penalty is as follows:
`(a) Offenses-

`(1) SALE- A person who knowingly sells a traffic signal preemption transmitter in or affecting interstate or foreign commerce to a person who is not acting on behalf of a public agency or private corporation authorized by law to provide fire protection, law enforcement, emergency medical services, transit services, maintenance, or other services for a Federal, State, or local government entity, shall, notwithstanding section 3571(b) of title 18, United States Code, be fined not more than $10,000, imprisoned not more than 1 year, or both.

`(2) USE- A person who makes unauthorized use of a traffic signal preemption transmitter in or affecting interstate or foreign commerce shall be fined not more than $10,000, imprisoned not more than 6 months, or both.
