Not sure if this is right section but if it isnt please move it. I really need some good opinions/help on this.

OK so on January 8th I was pulled over by the Gainesville Police Department by officer J. Martin, for "failure to ovey traffic control device."

Some of you will say I should just pay the ticket and all, but the thing is I'm not guilty. I drove through a yellow light under the speed limit, which turned red after crossing the intersection. Now i have had a speeding ticket before, and I plead guilty and I lost my license for 6 months, a couple years ago. This time though I know It was not at fault and honest to god I was not in the wrong.

He was in the incoming turning lane, what reason do I have to disobey the law in front of him? After being pulled over the officer had said I ran a redlight, and i did not say anything besides ok? On the citation he states: "Accelerated towards yellow light, entered and proceeded through intersection on solid red light. Acceleration noted by visual estimation and audible noise from engine." He wrote down failure to obey traffic control device which is Georgia code 40-6-20. I was behind another car that went through the yellow light a little under a second in front of me, at the same speed, but my tail just happened to catch the red light. I could have slammed on my brakes and stopped in the intersection, but this is illegal also. I also believe that the latency on the redlight is off, meaning its less than 3 seconds, as where others on same st. are more.

IM sure glad that police officers are not brain surgeons, because im pretty sure "visual estimation" doesnt cut it there.

I called 2 weeks later and asked how much the fine was and they said $170..then I figured I would go to court. So today I call back and they told me I have to go to court anyway since im under 21, even though they told me a price on the ticket already.

My question is why did the officer write all that crap, and not give me a ticket for running a red light which is Georgia Code 40-6-21, or a ticket for speeding, if I "sped" through the intersectoin like he said I did? Another question I have is what should I plead? I was gonna do not guilty, but after consideration, I really do not have money to pay court costs, and since the law is one sided, I would probably end up paying a fine anyway with court costs on top. The worst part is I ofund out that this could put 3 points on my license. Should I plead nolo? My court date is March 8th and I really dont know what to do at the moment.
