Viable way to avoid tickets?

I've been ticketed for running a red light before, and it's probably the most frustrating thing ever because we all know how harmless it can be. However is it possible to avoid tickets for running red lights if you get off the bike and walk it across the street and then get back on once on the other side? This would be jaywalking, but who ever got a ticket for that?

I know this is a stupid question, but I cannot afford $285 tickets for every red light in the city. It's a stupid solution to an even stupider problem, but I'm just wondering if anyone has thoughts about that.
