Yes , and I won !!! It was many moons ago back when I was in college in Baton Rouge. I was in a left hand turn lane to get on the interstate. It was a short green light and traffic always backed up there. But...I also knew that it was "revenue generating light" as a motorcycle cop sat there all the time. I made sure to be very careful. It turned yellow while I was in the middle of the intersection. The cop pulled over two of us at the same time....me & the person in front of me. I knew that I was not in the wrong. I was scared, but I was a poor college student who knew she was right and I went to fight it. About 10 other people were there that same day who the exact same thing happened to. The lawyer (or whoever it was that we all talked to) handled all of us together when presenting things to the judge. The cop was there and agreed that we had gone through yellow. We all got our tickets thrown out.

17 years ago, DH went to court and got the fine and points reduced. He got his first ticket since then just this year. He decided to go to court just to see if he could get it reduced- no dice.
