This 'gottcha' game is just obtuse.
It is the same. you are required to stop. Can you honestly tell me you have time to check both crosswalks, the on coming traffic, left turners, side traffic both ways, and double check for motorcycles in your illegal rolling stop. Is that 3 seconds worth your life or someone else's? I can't believe the way people on here whine about getting caught doing something that is illegal and justifying it by saying the law is stooped and they are being safe. Man up, you screwed up, pay the fine and don't do it again.
