My question involves a traffic ticket from the state of: California
So today I got my first ticket. So I was waiting at the light to turn left with two cars ahead of me. A cop pulls up behind me also waiting to turn. So te light proceeds to turn green and the two cars ahead of me make it through the green but the light turns yellow right as I'm going through. As Im going through the yellow light, the cop turns on his lights and pulls me over. When he pulls me over he said that clearly I had ran a red light. On my ticket the violation is 21453 (c) red arrow. I know for sure that when i turned the light was not red but it was yellow. I wouldnt have turned if the light was red because thats just common sense. And legally if the light turns red while im past the limit line, it is legal to continue through with the turn. well the cop was behind me so he really cant tell if im past the limit line or not. so im wondering if ill be able to dispute this in court or not and if ill be sucessful. I know the fine is $500 and im only 16 and i really dont want to pay that much for a ticket. also i need tips on how to dispute this so that they clear this, thank you!
