What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? San Francisco, CA
I was visiting San Francisco from Los Angeles when I inadvertently ran a red light. I was lost in an unfamiliar crowded area looking for the freeway to go back to the hotel. I am certain that the light was yellow when I crossed the intersection. My citation states "Red Sec" at 0.4. The elapsed red time is stated as 1.4. If the light was supposedly already read for 0.4 seconds when I crossed it, wouldn't the elapsed time be 1.8? Is there anything I can do to have my ticket dismissed or at the very least, reduced? Thank you for your time.
