AI Summary
This bill provides an affirmative defense to a charge of failing to obey a traffic control signal, such as running a red light, if the individual can prove that a police officer, peace officer, or other authorized person manipulated the traffic control signal for the purpose of issuing a ticket against that individual. The bill aims to address situations where law enforcement may intentionally alter traffic signals to generate more citations, which the individual can then use as a legal defense against the traffic infraction charge.
