Not Ranked
I just got caught running a "red light" here in L.A.. I contend the light was not red in the direction I was travelling, and the photo shows the light being red in the opposite direction than I was going. As of now, there is NO photo evidence of a red light in the direction I was travelling.
My question is this: Would I be likely to get out of this ticket because there is no solid evidence that the light which I allegedly "ran" was red? Can I claim that there may have been either a momentary mechanical malfunction at the signal, or a momentary Computer-malfunction at the signal?
It's common knowledge that computers sometimes need to be "rebooted", or at least turned off then turned on again. What would be the likelyhood of me winning my case with that allegation of evidence?
It seems circumstantial that the light was red OPPOSITE the direction that I was travelling; as far as I know, this signal in question does have arrows for left turns and such.
Anyone have any ideas for me?
