[Illusion]

Got my first ticket for going over a red light. I'm more confused because the light was clearly green and I'm wondering if the traffic light was defective. It wasn't until I started driving pass the road and the other side of traffic began moving when I quickly figured out that I must had ran over a red light.

I wasn't distracted on the road nor was I on my phone. I was going to get my haircut at a barber shop that I knew was down the road because I passed it previously and drove around to get back to it because I knew exactly where it was.

I want to fight and explain to the court that the light was defective but I don't even know if I feel confident in my answer because I got a ticket.

I will still pay the ticket because I understand by the cop's point of view that he saw me go through a red light. But I'm still curious if the light can be checked to see if it was a defective light or not.
