Please explain, since i'd also like to try these out ( or make my own ! )
While stopped at an intersection, you usually have the brake applied anyway (manual or auto). There is no safety issue, since the clips only prevent excess drag when the brakes are not applied. It's not as if the braking function of the car is being altered or effected. The purpose of the clips is to reduce drag when the brake pads are not suppose to be in contact with the disk.
