Getting pulled over and ticketed
Soooooo very long story short I just got pulled over for going through a red light. I honestly didn't do it, the light was green and was yellow when I was under it and I got the cop to admit it was yellow when I was under but he said go fight it in court he already wrote it. (A$$ HOLE)
Anyone know what the fine amount is for that violation?

No he said its up for the courts to decide. He was a complete **** asking me who's car was it and what I did for a living. When he first came to my window and I asked what the problem was he told me to give him his license and to sit their and shut up!

Seeing as the light was yellow when you went through the intersection, and you were there because of an appointment you had for your neck, you could say you made it through the intersection "in the 'neck' of time".
Just thought that under the circumsances you could use a laugh.
Good luck. I hope you win in court.

If theres no other witnesses, and no red light traffic camera, your best bet is to go to court and hopefully the cop doesn't show. The judge might then just drop your ticket.
I got pulled over for nearly the same exact thing (made a right turn on yellow, cop said it was red) and my ticket cost me $380 including traffic school.

Slick,
Why don't you look at the statute or ordinance regarding that offense. It probably reads that you cannot enter the intersection on red. You should have entered the intersection when you crossed the stop line across the traffic lane just before you entered the intersection. Therefore, you should be legal. Same as if you pulled out but had to wait until yellow for a break in opposing traffic for a left turn in the intersection.
