144(18) - Proceed Before Green - Bicycle
Hey everyone,
I was heading northbound on my bike downtown on friday. After the east/westbound lights went red and after a long pause I decided to get a head start and proceed before the light changed to green. About a block north of me an officer stepped out of an unmarked cruiser and pulled me over and gave me a $180 ticket. Now I see on this site that I should have been given points for it..but nowhere on the ticket does it say anything about points and the officer didn't mention anything about it.
Also, it's worth noting that the officer did not write my address correctly on the ticket.
Is there anything I can do here? I really can't afford this ticket..
