Failure to Stop at Red Light (21453 C) -- California
I received my first traffic ticket in walnut, California, Violation code 21453(c) Failure to Stop and Red Traffic Signal . I watched the video and seems like I didn't stop before taking right and made mistake . Violation code 21453(c) states:” A driver facing a steady red arrow signal…….” whereas there wasn't any red arrow at the signal, it’s solid red. I followed the instrution from this thread:

Unfortunately ,after 40 days, I received court decision found guilty. Then I asked a copy of police declaration. But the declaration statement show I were charged with 21453a Seem like the officer corrected sub-section. But court decision still on 21453c.
Should I request trial be novo for this reason? Is it true that most judges will deny traffic school to anyone who contests a ticket at all ?
