| Admin  | Remote Control Device=Controls Traffic Lights! man, he bought it on ebay!  Opticon-toting driver gets $50 fine for changing traffic light Posted Apr 18th 2006 10:34AM by Marc Perton Filed under: Transportation http://img.engadget.com/common/image...97426079410324We hate waiting for traffic lights to change as much the next driver (or pedestrian -- we have to cross streets, too, you know), but we doubt we'd ever try to take things into our own hands like Jason Niccum of Longmont, Colorado, did. Niccum picked up an Opticon -- an infrared light used by firefighters and other emergency responders to trigger traffic signals -- on eBay for about $100, and has been using it to cut his commuting time. That is, was using it, until local cops busted him after they noticed a consistent pattern of traffic-light disruptions at certain intersections. They nailed Niccum, and the town now plans to change the frequency used by traffic lights to block unauthorized signals (until, that is, someone comes out with a next-gen model). Niccum, despite getting stuck with a $50 fine, isn't exactly remorseful. "I guess in the two years I had it, that thing paid for itself," he told a local newspaper. __________________ -=Welcome to PBXInfo=- -Become a PBXInfo Supporter -Get more PM Space, Profile Picture, a Signature -Add yourself to Pbxinfo's Frappr -Find Nortel Software |

Location: 3498.51 miles from Tiverton, Ontario (CANADA) Rep Power: 16  | hehe... remember the last time we were over this? SD and rwhite got into a geek out over frequencies and stuff. Good times. From what I've seen they don't use that stuff in most places here, I see cop cars and firetrucks running red lights all the time. | ||||||||
