A:
If the light is defective, it will likely be fixed before you can get back over there to videotape the malfunction. If you can take your video to court, most traffic court judges will cut you some slack.
Next time. Use a signal and turn right (permitted in GA), and then adjust your route as soon as you can turn around, with no chance of a ticket.
