What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? CA
Hi,
I just wanted to know what legal action I should take in order to fight a ticket against a Pedestrian Crossing Against the Signal (Jaywalking)
Facts
1. My left turn signal turned green at a T-intersection.
2. I waited for a pedestrian crossing against the signal from left to right until she reached 3/4 of the way to the other side.
3. She had already passed me, and I made my left turn at a green arrow.
4. Cop from the intersecting street on the left side saw me as I passed him.
5. I got a ticket.
I know the law states that you must yield to pedestrians in cross walks, but what if that pedestrian was crossing against the signal? AKA, walking into a crosswalk while traffic was still flowing?
Questions
1. Is there a way to contest the ticket based on these facts?
2. Can I pay the bail amount and for traffic school, but still contest the ticket?
3. Should I just go to court and hope the cop doesn't show up?
I appreciate any advice. I've been googling this topic, and I haven't had much luck in finding a way to approach this. Thanks in advance.What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
