Legal Question in Traffic Law in Florida

I went through a red light camera on a solid YELLOW. It turned yellow no more than 1 or 1.5 secs before I entered the intersection. Does this mean that I would be free of any violation? The light was yellow as far as I could see going through the intersection (though I wouldn't be able to say when it turned red.) Should I be safe here? In other words, is a violation only issued if you cross the line at the start of the intersection when the light is red?

Yes you should be safe so long as the light was not red before you crossed the crosswalk or stop bar. Call me if you get sent a notice of violation.
