Several years ago CA passed a law that "being in the intersection when the
light is red is illegal." No quarry, no slack, just illegal. Yes, that
means no waiting in the intersection on a green ball to make a left turn;
once the oncoming traffic stops for the red, you go. Not anymore . . .

Check it out at the state's web page (don't have address handy, but it's
VERY thorough. Search the CVehicleCode by keyword or number).

You may be able to find some angle, but I doubt it.
