| ticket in FL for red light
i got a ticket in FL for going thru a red light while making a right turn. It was after 11:30PM and there was no traffic on the road @ that time. I am assuming the arrow was red due to the cop's allegation. This light has a sign that says no turn on red but that sign wasn't light at that moment.... from my understanding of our FL law i didn't break the law.
FL traffic control signals:
Come to a complete stop. At most intersections, after stopping, you may turn on red if the way is clear. Some intersections display a "no turn on red" sign, which must be obeyed.
when he stopped me, he said the cause was that i ran a red light. i told him i stopped, looked and continued. But he said that you are not supposed to go thru a red light at all. So i thought my case is pretty straight forward....but when i checked the continuance (from the court's first appointment. he didn't come but asked for a new date.) it says failure to stop steady at a red light. i do not have my original ticket to know if he wrote the same thing.
how do i fight this? |
