Thanks liveonetheedge. This happened about 8 months ago and considering how many people the officers stop on a daily basis I don't know how their "recollection" can be trusted if the facts change from what was written at the time. My opinion however, don't know whether court sees it that way.
This was an amber light ticket, the officer was monitoring an intersection at night. Mentions that my car was 15m away from the intersection when it turned amber. Also mentions specifically that "in the middle of intersection it turned red". This is a 50km/h street.
I have calculated the distance of the intersection from the stop line to the first white line of the other side it is 28.5m. How I did this? Through google maps satellite. They have a scale that can be converted to distances by simple measuring.
If I do my calculations at going 50km/h; distance away from white line of other side is 28.5m+15m=43.5m. The amber light is 3s minimum (should be 3.2s at this speed limit but I'll calc at the minimum). I would have only been about 2m away from the white line of the intersection when it turned red, not in the middle of the intersection.
Additionally, the officer says I sped up from 50-70 to run the yellow light. Well, now this is even worse, if I sped up and let's say was going at 60/h average, I would have been clear of that intersection way before it turned red and he should have given me a speeding ticket.
Mind you, my notes from after the fact tell a different story regarding speed and distance. I did speed up but only a little and I think that is why he came after me for the amber light ticket, due to the speeding up.
Does this make sense? Even though these distances and speeds are approximations from the officer, "the middle of the intersection" would be a gross approximation compared to 2 m away.
What do you guys think? Thanks again for reading the long post and giving your opinions.
