Go to court and fight it though. The response you should claim is that the light was green last time you saw it.
They will say that according to the photo you didn't clear the intersection under a green light.
You need to state that after you observed the green light you were busy observing traffic and the intersection while driving to make sure it was safe to clear the intersection of traffic, not staring at the light.

I always thought it was "The light turned yellow right before I enter the intersection, I could not have safely stopped while traveling within the speed limit with the time and space given."


Its gotten me out of more than one "orange" Light
