I was recently ticketed for running a red light (G.S. 20-154) in Raleigh late at night. One thing I notice is that the light changes a lot quicker late at night does it does during the day.
1. Is there any way to fight this and claim equiptment failure?
2. If the officer does not show up, in Wake county, do they dismiss the case?
3. If I plead not guilty, do I have to re-appear for another court date?
