Ok so my mom just got two tickets in the mail for a suppose "red light turn" violation, but this can't be! Why? Because yes i know it's illegal to turn on a red light, BUT, only when theres a sign there that says so am i right? But recently there has been a new law forbidding turning on a red light at all, but the thing is we didn't know about this until today when the cop told us!! do i have a right to argue in court or something that those $100 tickets should be cancelled since we where not aware about the new law and there WAS NO sign and we had always turned on a red light when theres no sign there saying you can't do it, we've done it infront of cops too and they've never said anything until today when we got our first ticket ever by the mail ,with photos and everything, but like i said, if there is no sign alerting us it's illegal, and we weren't aware about the new law, do we have a right to get those tickets canceled? we live in the chicago suburban area, thanks!
