There was no camera in sight a police officer pulled me over.I got a traffic ticket for a passing a red light. When it was yellow. Tonight is my court date. any advice?
You must be going very fast otherwise you could have stop in time and the police would not have bothered you. But if you think that you were sticking to a decent speed limit while passing the traffic lights and could not stop straight away and it was yellow not red then you can take actions against the police officer who stopped you but you will need strong evidence otherwise your case will be in favor of the police.





I have to admit that sometimes police officers do stop you for even little mistakes but im not sure what happened in your case.





Now pay the penalty and move along as you cant do anything else if you have made a mistake or fight against the court till you are proven innocent, innocent i tell ya.





next time be careful and stick to the speed limits and you will never break the law and the traffic lights again for sure.

Withouth a camera its basically your word against the cop. Guess who's going to win there? You can try to fight it and you will get another court date, but it is more than likely that you're going to end up losing your case. Just pay the fine, as to go to traffic school so that you don't get a point on your driving record and forget about fighting the ticket.
You can plead guilty with an explanation and hope to get your fine reduced. Tell them this is your first ticket, etc.Depending on how long you have been driving this sometimes helps. Chances are you will not beat the ticket without a lawyer representing you. Even then it's a crap-shoot and would cost you more then the ticket.Good luck
pay the fine. they need the money. thats why u got the ticket on a ''so so''


Maybe you can go to traffic school and not get a mark on your liscense. check it out.
As long as your front tires were pass the white ';stop'; line before the light turned red, you did not run a red light. Will be hard to prove unless there is a traffic camera at the stoplight. Good Luck!
Pay your fine and next time stop. Yellow means stop if you can, not if you want to.
