What would be the procedure for something like that? Will I be going to jail?
answered on Mar 31, 2023
Normally there is a deadline, not a start date. If you missed your deadline, you may be in violation of probation, and a warrant will eventually go out when the completion deadline has come and passed. With that said, it looks like you are still within 30 days, so there may not be a warrant yet.... View More

You can file a 1538.5 motion to challenge the stop if there is evidence that it was a yellow and not a red light that you ran (ie. video footage). If you are successful, then nothing after the stop is admissible in court. But realize that if it is just your word versus the cop's, you will... View More

Going through a yellow light is not an offense, but doing so recklessly could be a basis for a lawful stop. Your lawyer will have to look into the actual facts and reason given the stop to determine if the evidence gathered against you afterwards was the product of an unlawful detention. Cops... View More
