We have all seen this funny story where a Palm Beach officer pulls over a woman for holding a phone in her right hand, only to find out that her right hand was amputated. Even after showing the revenuer that his allegation was impossible, he still issued her a ticket, instead of walking away. Why? Quota? Ego? Lack of respect for the citizen? The government’s love of jamming up a citizen? The belief that citizen money belongs to the government?
Ultimately, the ticket to this one armed woman was dismissed because you can’t hold a phone in your right hand if you don’t have a #!
The officer asked her to put a “hand to God” that she hadn’t been using her phone while she was driving.
