I remember in Manila (Philippines) there was a light at an intersection that turned red in probably half the time any other light did. What's more, crossing the intersection required crossing 6+ lanes of traffic, so frequently you could enter the intersection with a green light but still end up traversing it mostly when the light was red. There was a gaggle of 10 or so cops standing at the other side at all times, issuing tickets. If you gave them a disapproving look though sometimes they'd just wave you through anyway, looking a little embarrassed at their scheme.
