Amputee Gets Ticket for Holding Phone
Description
A Florida woman with no right hand was pulled over for allegedly holding her phone in that hand—despite showing the officer her stump. The deputy wrote her a $116 ticket, but bodycam footage captured her stunned disbelief. She prepared to fight it in court, only for the same officer to later request the ticket be dropped—no court appearance needed. A bizarre case that underscores how assumptions can backfire, and how the law’s wording (which bans texting, not just holding phones) adds to the confusion.
