Its gonna be one of those "your word vs. his" type deals, even if thats the case its still worth a shot taking your buddy.
TELL IT TO THE JUDGE PAL LMAO!
Did you even READ the thread? The intersection was recently redesigned, and some how it screwed up so there is a signal with both a green light and a green turn arrow at lane. There is no way to go straight on this light, and in his case the green arrow was red but the turn signal was green which makes no sense.
This interpriation takes a bit of creative licence, but here's how I see it in two possible ways:

when that arrow turns red you dont have the right of way to turn. but that green light says you can turn but must yeild to oncoming traffic. that ticket doesnt sound legit.
No, he would of had to yield IF the arrow light was flashing red, but if it was solid he has to stop. It doesn't matter which color the stoplight is, hell it could of been red, but if the arrow was green he could turn and would be ok, but the ARROW was solid red=STOP.
I went back to 73 just to re-act what I did and where the cop was located. I really can’t see how the officer could have seen my light. Because it was dark out, I though maybe he could have seen my light bouncing off something but when I was in front of that light where he was, I could not see anything.
After I was done putting my self where the cop was, I went and took my turn like I did when I got the ticket. Like I though, there’s ONLY a green arrow, and not a two stages green light and green arrow. Which means I have no idea what he was talking about with maybe I was looking at the green light above it.
And bottom line, me and my buddy remember that light being green, so once again, back to square one.

I know that area and rt 73 in general is a pain. Your best bet is to document everything with pictures and go to court. Maybe the officer won't show up.
