I was cited today in Overland Park Kansas saying "Failed to yield to oncomming traffic". I was in the turn lane turning left, the aarow turned yellow as i crossed the line entering the intersection. As i just got out of the intersection it turned solid green and the cop turn her lights on and pulled me over. she said that i failed to yield for the oncomming traffic because it turned green. well i was out of the intersection but she said that cars started to move when i was in the intersection. Keeping in mind the light was yellow the whole time i was in it. I know she saw the cars moving because whenever the turning aarows turn yellow ppl start to move but not actually go. Also there is a 2.5 second delay for when the aarow goes away and turns into solid green(meaning u have to yield) so even if i was barely in the intersection while it just turned green there was no oncomming traffic because their light stays red for that long. But the thing is, it was yellow the whole time i was in there. Also the cop that stopped me was in a different lane and couldnt have seen every single thing to be 100% sure. I know i am sure of what happened because i was the one that was driving through while the light was yellow the whole time.
Am I able to contest this in court? If I am will I probably win or lose? I talked to an officer tonight and he said somethin about talking to the prosecutor and see what they want to do about this b4 the court date.
Any info would be helpful
