There are no turns on red anywhere in the city, and considering the population density I think that law makes sense. Although I admit that I've done the same kind of thing that you did myself and I'm sure you were very safe I don't think that you can really blame the cop in this situation for giving you a ticket. If anything it seems like he cut you a break by reducing your fine. I’m from Queens myself and have lived and biked in both Queens and Manhatan.

A cyclist in Tucson was cited for speeding in a school 15mph zone. The zone is at the end of a downhill so the cyclist easily made that speed. The report sounded like he didn't slow down at all. In this case I agree with the ticketing; no one should put children at jeapordy. On another note, in California, turning left from a one-way street to another one-way street on the red is legal, provided there isn't a "No Turn on Red" sign. However, I do remember that New York state doesn't allow for turning on red at all. Well, be thankful you got a break.
