red light violations

so im pretty pissed about this.. i konw i know i have a lil road rage... who doesn't. well anyways i was going home and about to turn right into the far left lane because i needed to make a left turn at the light. As i begin to turn right.. there was a car who was speeding pretty fast and sped up to honk his horn at me. i stop at my turn light while his light was green. i decide to go follow this guy to talk to him and see what his problem was. I signal to get back into the straight lane and there was a cop right on the other side of me. SHe busts a U-turn and gets me for unsafe lane change and running a red, but the thing is i wasnt running a red and the cop had no way of seeing me run the red. it was green to yellow and as i exited, the light was red. i was contemplating about fighting this red light ticket, but it seems like all the cop needs to do is say i ran it, and i have no case.. wat should i do!!??! thanks!

Well if it was red when you exited, technically they can call it running a red. I don't want to argue legistics with you. Pretty much, you are correct, it does come down to her word against yours. However, I would definantly plead not guilty and try to get it reduced. They will try and bargain with you prior to court (possibly even right before court) and they will 99% of hte time offer you a lesser sentence, which is usually worth taking. So at least go to court for that.

Take pictures from the cop's point of view, to show that she couldn't have seen your light.

Do both of the suggestions. You could always say that you were following some1 cuz he honked at u and u wanted to kick his ass.(SARCASM) LOL.
