I cross posted this video in DDPAI MINI 2 forum but I figured more people will see it here.
I was going straight on a relatively slow (50-55MPH) highway along the ocean. A guy stopped in a left most lane on a red left turn arrow randomly decided to turn when the main lights turned green in both directions. The guy, in his 50s, was uninjured and looked annoyed by the whole incident. When cops arrived he insisted he had a green light. The cop who had no witnesses or video, decided I was at fault and gave me a court summons for running a red light. I am in my late 30s. I have law enforcement training and experience. I did not disclose any of that. I was simply providing all necessary documentation and telling the cop I had a green light. During the impact, I hit the left side of my ear, head, and body against the door before the side airbags actually deployed. I was concussed and wasn't making perfect sense or recall everything. After I checked both of my dashcams. It was clear. I emailed the officer as I was still at the highway waiting for a tow truck when he already left(and refused to return). To his credit he did void the citation and put me as a party not at fault in the report. I don't know what was going through his mind but he looked annoyed when I stated I was injured and asked for his email. He asked me for my driver license immediately after and wrote the citation. My car was totaled. The other driver left the scene shortly thereafter.
