Do you think its fair to get a ticket at a turn for not stopping first and it was red light but their were no cars?
There were no cars in sight, and it was red light, so the person didn't think he needed to stop, so he just reduced his speed and turned. Then he got fined and got a ticket.
Also this person also gotten a ticket at a stoplight for not stopping long enough.(he stopped but no long enough)
Do you think its fair?

Does it really matter what the illegal stop is called in California people? There are 49 other states. BTW everyone has agreed that the ticket was fair. The laws are there for a reason.

Red means stop. A complete stop. Not a rolling stop, not a touch of the brakes stop, but dead stop. - no matter what the situation or condition. Yes it was fair. Know the laws, and No problem. Keep breaking the laws, get tickets, fines, lose your license, lose your driving privileges, perhaps the car. Those are the consequences. Deal with it!!

Sure it is. We all put our signature at the bottom of our drivers license and agree to follow the laws, no matter how stupid or inconvenient they may be.
A complete stop gives you adequate time to look for cars, pedestrians, cyclists, etc. Not all stops have perfect visibility and sometimes if there is an obstructed view, you may actually need longer to see someone coming.
They make general rules instead of evaluating each and every single intersection. It makes more sense when you think of it this way.

The sign says "Stop", not "Stop Unless There Are No Other Vehicles". Stop means your vehicle completely ceases forward motion and it means the same before turning right at a red light.

Yes, it's fair, because it's the law. It would not have been fair if you had NOT gotten a ticket, because you would have broken the law and gotten away with it.
You might tell your friend to request defensive driving for a ticket dismissal. It sounds like he needs to brush up on his traffic laws.

Totally fair. The law is the law. It says STOP. Not slow down and not even a 'rolling stop', as many around here do. Stop, Look, Proceed.

Excuse me, it's not called a "California Stop", I know because I live in California, and it's actually called a "Hollywood stop" The reason I know this is because i got pulled over and the cop told me it was :P

final time I checked a pink gentle capacity S T O P! that would not advise decelerate it capacity supply up. you're actually not remembering the regulation would not make it unfair for them to furnish you a value ticket. it incredibly is defined for the duration of utilising classes and interior the education manual of highway rules that needs to be studied until now a written utilising attempt.

Fair has nothing to do with it. It is against the law. he should not have done it in front of a cop.
Should it be against the law is a different question.
