Red Light Ticket given wrongly--fight it?

I was given a ticket for running a red light. The officer said the light was clearly red before I crossed the stopline, but I know it did not turn red until I was already past the stop line. Also, the cop was never in a position to see whether the actual light I was accused of running was red or green, in fact, he was at or approaching a parallel intersection about 20-30 yards away from the light in question, and not on the same side to see the light. I did not have my registration in the car when she stopped me, though. As this is in Florida, I would have paid the fine and done traffic school, but I did that last year for a speeding ticket, so I'm within 12 months, so that's not an option for me to elect. If I just pay the fine, I get 4 points under Florida law.
