My question involves a traffic ticket from the state of: Georgia
Hi. I was on the way home from college and I was stopped at a redlight with a cop car in front of me and another cop car stopped behind me. We had been sitting at the redlight for a while when all of a sudden the cop in front of me turned on his lights and sirens and sped through the red light. I was in the left lane and there were cars on all sides so I sort of panicked because I thought the cop behind me was trying to get through so I proceeded through the red light. I pulled over immediatly before the cop even pulled me over. There was no one coming so technically I was not endangering myself or others and I thought I was in the way of an emergency. He would not let me explain myself and gave me a ticket that is 265 dollars. I want to fight this but I have never gone to court for anything and I am nervous about it . I do not know if this is relavent but I was really not feeling well and already had a doctors appointment made for that afternoon which I later found out I had strep throught. I just do not know which specifics need to be said and which do not. I want to present valid evidence that will help me in my situation, if it can be helped. Any advice would be much appreciated. Thank you so much.
