Can this get you a ticket?
You are going through an intersection with a stop light at it. It is yellow when you start through but you are still, at least partly, in the intersection when it turns red. Can you still get a ticket?

Depends.
As long as you are past the "stop line", you are considered in the intersection under the caution.

However, the way it usually works is that if the cop wants to write you a ticket for a "RED LIGHT infraction"....HE/SHE WILL, and there is little you can do about it.
Generally, the only way to win a case such as this is to provide dash cam footage to the court.
