What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Texas
So I recieved a civil penalty for: failure to stop at a red light. Now I have no problem paying if i feel like I did, but I dont think I was in the wrong.
I've seen the pics and 11 sec. video of my violation.
I would love to fight it, but it would probably cost me more than $75....
my version: im making a right turn...light is green then turns yellow, i get to the intersection line, looked left(no cars) yellow light still and turn right as i see a flash of light. now from the pics and video version, it appears as if i didnt stop.
frame A: time- 10:23:38.9 Amber-4.1 RTime-000.3
Frame B: time- 10:23:40.5 Amber-4.1 RTime-002.0
in the video u see the light turn yellow for about the 4 seconds..okay....in literally like a second! from the light turning red I made a right turn. I didnt not slow down to an already red light and turn anyways...it was yellow! It just makes me mad that i now have to pay a fee for this...
I must say that this very intersection has been in the news when someone fought their red light camera ticket for the same thing because the time was even faster like a 3.something for a yellow light and it seems like they have sinced raised it to the 4.1 seconds. so am i right to be upset to be paying a ticket that i no if i made that same turn with a police officer right behind me, i wouldn't have gotten a ticket because i was not turning on a red...this red light had just turned red for not even a second...ugh...
