    Unhappy Failure to Yield at a U-Turn Light Signal

    My question involves a traffic ticket from the state of: NJ.
    I received a ticket for failure to yield at a U-TURN light signal, basically the cop said that I ran the red light. When I was talking to the cop as I was getting the ticket, I informed him that the light was not red as I was turning, it had just turned yellow. He said you are suppose to stop on yellow, but I was already 3/4 of the way around ... it would of made absolutely no sense to stop in the middle of the road.
    Needless to say that I am fighting the ticket. There is a camera at that intersection, is there any way I can find out if it works and would I be able to use it in court?
    Other than that, I do not know any other defense to prove my innocence being as it is just my word against his.

    Help!

    You can investigate the camera with whatever unit of government is responsible for the camera. You will learn from that if it would have captured any of the incident and if any video is still available.

    If the officer had a camera in his car, you can explore getting that as well.
