Running a red light?

Yesturday night I was driving to work..

At the first intersection in a small town there is a traffic light. When I was driving past it the light turned yellow, but I though that I would make it, so I didn't slow down. The light turned Red right before I hit the intersection. I have seen the red light for about half a second, I was going around 37mph. I just kept on driving for about 20-30 seconds, then the car behind me was a Cop car and pulled me over. He said he was on the intersection.

This is my first traffic violation so he gave me a warning, what is going to happen?

Should I fight it?

lol, warnings are just that... warnings. You dont have to do anything about it, you dont have to pay a fine, you just throw it away and go on with your life as normal.

Wait..did he let you off or give you something written. If it is written, what does it say?

I got a written warning for no seat belt one time. It looked just like a ticket but it was a warning. I honestly dont think there was a difference between the warning and the ticket.

Tickets must be paid...

Tickets must be paid...


lol, no shit huh?

I meant other than the obvious i didnt see the difference in the paper "warning" i was given compared to the ticket my friend got.

Well if it didn't have a fine on it...then you don't have to do a thing. If it did have a fine for the seatbelt thing...then it's a ticket, in which case, just pay it, because you got off easy.
