Dashcam GPS units are cheap and somewhat cheezy. There's always some time-lag and spurious readings are not uncommon. Not hard to find examples of these things on vids posted by people world-wide.
If the data it shows is in your favor you might not mention that. If it shows data against you that might help your case.
State law here requires that you slow for intersections but it doesn't specify exactly how much. I evenly maintain that slowed speed as I go through so that everyone else can better judge my passing through time and hopefully not pull out in front of me. As long as you're in the intersection (past the stopping line) before the light turns red, you're legal and it is treated the same as if the light was green, so if an oncoming vehicle turns in front of you it's their fault. It's a nice feeling to know that the lie they will tell claiming I ran the red will be disemboweled by my dashhcam video
