HOWEVER, depending on your attitude and previous warning notes, you may be fined for other stuff that he can pin on you.
I still believe that attitude is everything when a cop stops you. An officer usually has many options when he writes you a ticket. One example is if you turned right during a red light at an intersection that clearly states "No Right turns on Red", the officer can either:
1) Fine you for "Disobeying traffic sign", which is $121
2) Fine you for Running a red light, which is $167
3) Fine you for Disobeying traffic sign AND running a red light, which totals to $288

The thing is that the only one that would fly in court would be the first one for the following reason(s);
2) wouldn't be right, because you are permitted to turn right at a red light at intersections (unless a sign says not to, which is an offence in its own). If he didn't completely stop, and rolled through and conducted a right turn, then he could be charged for running a red light.
3) As per 2, he could get both ONLY if he didn't stop at the light before proceeding.
