Fair call on paying the fine if you've broken the law but I'll take my missus' word on the fact that she didn't notice the red light (or flashing amber) at the pedestrian crossing.
The officer wrote on his statement that she was "sleeping when riding" when she told him that she was tired (which he couldn't spell correctly) after finishing work and didn't notice the pedestrian crossing light. I reckon the officer was "sleeping" himself to even notice the colour of the light with a pretty obvious mistake as "Mr".
Anyway, I hope it makes the ticket void therefore saving us from disputing if she ran a red light or not.
