I went through one on my way to band practice every week when I lived in Seattle. I could get it to flash me every time. But I always stopped in time. Never got a ticket.
It became a sort of cat and mouse game, kinda like I did with traffic cops when I used to fix cash machines.
There was a guy down in Phoenix who used to drive through them with a monkey mask on. LOL! I don’t know if they ever caught that guy. I think they did.
