Technically, if the nose of your car is past the "line of prolongation", (which is a straight line drawn from the corner of the intersection) when the light turns red, you've legally entered the intersection. That's a close call, and many who think they made it, simply didn't. While it's unsafe in many instances to jam on your brakes on a yellow light, it's also equally unsafe to enter the intersection on the end of a yellow. It's how many "failure to yield" left turn accidents happen.

Anyway, I digress. Pay it and move on.
Depending on the ticket price I would agree, but only if it is a small fee.
If his local system wants 300+ like many for running a red, then he needs to fight it. Also, if he is able to get it thrown out or dismissed with other drivers education it will not go on his record or insurance.
