red light and a funeral procession

[alent1234]

What is the name of your state? NYC

I was part of a funeral procession this week, and my car was around the 4th from the rear. We all had our blinkers on. Anyway everyone in the procession went through red lights and a few times one of the NY Traffic cops helped us by blocking traffic.

At least once I think I was caught by a red light camera. I tried to do a quick search of the VTL, but couldn't find anything. Was I in the wrong by following the cars through a red light?

Go there if you get the notice. Odds are you'll lose (there is no legal exception for funerals, it's merely a courtesy), but you'll definately lose if you don't try.

Actually YAG there IS one exemption

The writer should not worry.

Granted, I'm not a traffic lawyer but the only exception for funerals I know of is that tailgating is permitted.
