A 3-second yellow is VERY long. You had plenty of time to stop - you were just upset that the green was so short, so you hit the gas to beat the light instead of hitting the brakes and waiting for the next green.

How can you possibly know that you entered the intersection .08 seconds "after it turned"? And turned what?

It was probably a red light camera ticket. The timing would be listed on the ticket.

ETA: I know that you know how red light camera tickets work

It was probably a red light camera ticket.

I was thinking that but I like to confirm it by hearing it from the OP.
