Hello all

Hey folks. New forumer here.
Just curious to hear a few opinions on the following video taken at a photo enforced intersection.
As you can see, the light was still yellow for a fraction of a second as the camera-car entered the intersection (crossed the stop line), but it was close.
I drive a Honda Civic and we all know how those are when it comes to theft. On my driveway my brothers car was stolen twice and once broken in to. Also a few other cars have been stolen on my street. I have an alarm and all that. But say my alarm was going off and I ran outside and fought off the…

I don't think what you've described would be a valid defense for necessity.
Some issues against you would be that your mother was not in the vehicle and there were other alternatives, such as calling 911 and having her transported by ambulance.
Glad to hear she's doing better though.
Re: Speeding for emergency.
As Bend stated, your scenario won't satisfy the defence of necessity. After all, if it truly was an emergency, all you had to do was pull over and call 911 so that they could go pick up your mom. We have emergency vehicles for that purpose with specially trained staff. Your involvement would not be considered essential to justify breaking the law.
By the way, if you held your cellphone when your wife called you, that too could have yielded a ticket for drive with hand held device. After all, it would not meet the definition of an emergency situation since you wouldn't have known about your mom's situation if you didn't pick up the call in the first hand. For all you know, your wife could have been calling to ask you to pick up bread. The emergency exemption on the cellphone would only have applied if you were actually using it to call first responders (i.e. an emergency).
Re: Speeding for emergency.
You were doing Mach 350? How did the police ever catch you?
