My only ticket in 20 years of driving was a bullshit running a red light charge. It was fucking yellow! It was unsafe to stop. Fuck traffic cops.
Had same situation. It was pouring rain. 3 way intersection, I didn’t even see it turn to red only yellow. Cop took like 2 min to catch up to me to pull me over and say “you almost killed me” I was so confused.
I went to court to talk to magistrate or whatever and there was like 20 people and they all were getting reduced to non moving violations but when it was my turn she was like “you may have noticed everyone before you got reduced to non moving violation but we can’t just have that for everyone can we, gotta make an example out of someone and I was promptly denied reduced offense.
So I went to court again to go against the judge but the cop that pulled me over pulled me aside and asked why I was here and I told him “I never ran a red light. It was pouring rain and the light turned yellow as I went through… and he’s like fine and told the judge to drop it.
I think mine ended up being a $600 fine and a point on my driving license that dropped after like ten years. I recently tried to get the paperwork for it, but it was so long ago there's no record of it.
