tomorrow...i have to go to court
so back in january i got pulled over for running a red light...which i did NOT do!! yes, it was yellow when i went through...but i was so close to the intersection when it turned yellow, if i would have stopped, i would have ended up in the intersection. i didn't say anything to the officer when he pulled me over...i was too scared...guess i've seen too many episodes of COPS. lol!
the ticket is for $195.00!!! that's crazy!! anyway...for a month now i've been agonizing over what to say when i get to court. it's the police officer's word against mine right? and i'm sure the judge has probably heard every single excuse under the sun...but in this case it's TRUE!!! i hope i can articulate what i need to say and hope the judge believes me!!!
so pray for me...pray that i have the words to say and the judge has the ears to hear!! :) i'll tell ya all about it tomorrow!

I thought if you entered an intersection when the light was still yellow, that was legal. Just tell the judge what you said on the blog and if I'm right, perhaps he'll let you off! I'll pray that it goes well.

that's what i thought! and what was weird was that i was getting on 395 (going south) at mccarran (yes, i was leaving church) and he didn't pull me over until i got all the way to the mill st exit!! that's 4 exits away - the whole thing was just weird!! my registration expires in january...and i kinda think he just pulled me over to see if my registration was valid... but who knows!! :)

Not to be the bearer of bad news, but technically "yellow" means "clear the intersection" so they can cite you.
But as you know, God is bigger than traffic court. Just try to relax and be yourself and your story will be heard.
