More details to this question:
I was mailed a red light camera violation in chicago. The speed limit was 30 mph and the yellow light was 3 seconds or less. (from the video provided). I am currently trying to fight this violation because i believe it is a safety hazard to have lights that short, but im having trouble finding any legal documentation on traffic lights

Although this is not a legal question, you may be able to get the information that you seek from the Illinois Criminal Justice Information Authority or the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. That being said, once you receive the information, it is always best to consult with an experienced attorney how to present such information.
