Red to green
There's a bill in the state legislature that would "make it illegal for a person to operate a vehicle which he or she knows is equipped with a device capable of affecting the operation of any traffic-control signal." In other words: it'd be illegal to use a device that switches lights from red to green. The technical term for this tech is "traffic signal preemption," and it's often used to give emergency vehicles a clearer path (the bill includes an exception for such vehicles). Here's a story about a guy getting busted for illegally using such a device in California last year.

People run red lights without a device like that here. Do we need a law about it?
