I suspect the chances of getting caught if you run it intermittently a few times are almost nil. After all, the Stingray devices are illegal and seem to have been used for years.

Perhaps, but he was addressing the legality, not the practicality of getting caught. And the points about your project potentially stopping people from calling 911 are also salient. This is just something that isn't worth the risk to most tinkerers like myself to even try.

What are the odds of someone calling 911 around you the moment you try it? I'd say negligible if you're not in the center of a city.

Probably nil if they're connecting to your rogue device.
