I think it depends on the region of the country. When I lived in the northeast, everybody pulled into the intersection and then turned either when traffic cleared and/or when the light turned stopping oncoming traffic.
When I lived in Tennessee it was the opposite. If you pulled into the intersection, and the light turned and then you completed the turn, you are liable to get a ticket. So people generally don't do that. It is probably also because so many people run red lights.
From what I have seen, Florida is more like the Northeast.
