OK, so my Wife just came back from the store in her Grey 1994 Volvo 940 (not some 2005 Red convertible). On her way back she gets pulled over by a County Cop who says she went through a Yellow light. He says he didn't even want to pull her over, but his boss was in the car and HE wanted him to (it makes sense because they didn't pull her over until she was way down the road from where she went through the light).
Anyway.... He writes her the ticket and she comes home and tells me the story. OK, A ticket is a ticket and I don't like the idea of paying probably $125, and believe me I usually laugh at people who seek legal advice from the internet, but I just had to ask... Since when is going through a Yellow light illegal? On the ticket (in the 'Violation' section) it says "passed med light". I live in New York in case that makes any difference (<- boy, that might generate a few comments).
I guess I will just go by the local prencinct today and ask about it. I don't even see what amount I would pay if I wanted to plead guilty (it only shows for red lights and speeding). But if it counts as a Red light then it will cost $75 + a $50 surcharge. Great... As if my taxes don't pay for enough in this state....
