I have one of those things and Savage_Rob is correct.  It is a magnet and "it doesn't do squat."  You need a stronger magnet.

it's been discussed ad nausem and no they don't work.

if you wait more than one cycle, just go. explain it to the judge.

Hey if you are going to use a really powerful magnet under there, be sure and check it for loose change.

Actually,  I was also wondering if it could have any benefit for pulling loose chunks or metal to the bottom of the engine... good or bad?

I'll explain it to the judge and he'll say you darn motorcycle riders think you are special? i dont care if you had to wait 10 lights the law is the law.   nah i dont know i think an austin judge would be ok with it but a williamson county judge would have me excuted.

it has been my experiece that you can,
a. convince the cop not to write 8)
b. tell it to the judge, he/she will generally let of.
c.  go back to offending intersection, with video camera document the lack of turn cycle, plead not guilt, get let off.  
d. send footage to local/state department of transportation and request readjustment,  this if it's near your home and you use the interstection often.

an associate at the dot here in washington, just laffed when i mentioned the magnets, and said he wished he would have invented them.  they don't work but, a good money maker for the inventor though.

personally i don't give it a moments thought. wait one cycle then go.  i have and will use my social skills if caught.

yeah i was thinking some magnetic field wouldnt be too good for any electronics on the frame or regulating the engine.

i've seen the magnet thingy and even some form of remote u point at the light.  i doubt they work at all.

I have even been ignored by the light sometimes several cycles in a row.  I turned around and went another way.   Honestly I dont think anything is worth a ticket.  Find a way around, besides ur having a good time on ur bike right?  why spoil it with some ticket that u'll have to pay when u could spend that $ on some of lancer's items  8)
