By the letter of the law where I was, apparently it is the law. I was ticketed for it. I had it fixed and went to traffic court (hoping to at least have my complaint about the way the officer handled the situation heard, even though I would admit the light was in fact broken), but they thought the ticket was so ridiculous it was dismissed before I even saw the judge. So... technically illegal, but dumb enough to literally get laughed at by the court clerks?<p>edit: I am aware one can complain to the police department, but this was typical of their officers and I didn&#x27;t expect sympathy from other officers. Not sure what I expected to achieve in court.
