Why should he have to take the day off and go to court? And what happens when he gets in one of those kangaroo traffic courts where the judge lines up 10 people at a time and says, "You're all guilty. Pay and get out." (Yes, that happens too.)
Is it really a safety issue that we have to issue a ticket to somebody for crossing before all of the lights have even turned red?

The same argument you've held the whole time about human reaction time, when applied to the length of the yellow light before turning red, would have easily gotten that ticket thrown out in any reasonable court, provided the defendant wasn't acting like a moron. Yes, I've been to court. I've also beaten most of the 100+ tickets I've gotten since I was 16, mostly on technicalities. Unlike most drivers, I read/understand the laws of the areas I drive in.

Wow, 100+ tickets, huh? Kinda arguing for the wrong side, aren't you?
