So if anything, yellow light for turns should be shorter. If you are still in the intersection by the time the light goes red, it is probably because you had to brake hard when you realized you had to yield to someone (i.e. ped on a crosswalk going straight). In this case, you should absolutely get the ticket because all western driving codes expressly forbid entering an intersection unless you can promptly execute your turn without waiting; it is strict liability.
So sure, you go slower through an intersection when turning. But this entirely ignores that you had much more time to stop safely for the yellow light; braking distance is quadratic with speed, so the effect is even more lopsided.
