You can always walk your bike across the intersection. That way you get across and don't violate the law.

Also there is a difference between not coming to a stop and not waiting for a green. Most state laws allow cyclists to cross if they determine the light is sensor activated and not changing.

I stop at lights and wait for green, but most of the places I ride either don't have lights, or if they do, the traffic is heavy enough that I'd need to wait for the green anyway. If I routinely encountered red lights with no traffic I might change my philosophy (and petition the town to change them to blinking lights).
