From your link, emphasis mine:
> permits the operator of a motor vehicle to turn such vehicle right at a red stop light after stopping
Quoting GP, emphasis again mine:
> the driver glanced to his left and without stopping or looking in my direction, turned right across my path
The driver turned without stopping. That is explicitly and clearly illegal throughout the US.
This is one of those rules drivers are supposed to be trained on (and tested on) before being given a license, but it doesn't seem to stick.
The Wikipedia article notes that allowing turn-on-red became widespread in response to fuel scarcity. Fuel efficiency is dramatically higher in modern vehicles. Maybe it's time to repeal it after all.
If only there was public interest in public safety...
