Not if you were at the point of no return (when any tire crosses the first line of the intersection when its too late to stop in time). Also, if you were waiting to make a turn and were already in the intersection when the light turned, then thats ok too, but if you were stopped because of traffic and you stopped in the middle of the intersection, then yes you can be in trouble because when there is traffic, the driver should stop on the other side of the intersection untill there is room for the car on the other side to prevent from blocking the intersection (Dont forget emergency vehicles need to get through).

It is not illegal to be in the intersection when the light turns red, but it is not smart. It is illegal to enter the intersection when the light is red. And I have seen people who get stuck in the intersection because of traffic issued citations.

In a California intersection, if you are in it, and the light turns red, you are in for a fine. If the intersection has a camera, it will trip, take a picture of your lic. plate , with the date and time, and you will get a nasty ticket. I believe it varies from $220-$350.00. At least this is on the signs I see here , at the intersections. The actual intersection, is beyond the stop sign, or beyond the white line, or actual corner. it is better to try and avoid going through this at all if possible.

It is illegal to ENTER the intersection while a light is emitting a steady red signal. The intersection is anything forward of the white stopping line.

It is illegal in most states, if not all. The intersection is the area past the big white line.
