Distracted driving is a dangerous issue that police officers are taking more seriously. But when Katie, who runs the social media page Slightly Off Balance, was pulled over for the offense, she had questions. The officer writing the citation insisted that she was driving with her phone in her right hand. That didn’t make sense to her. The woman uploaded a clip of the interaction in which she asks the officer for clarification. According to the officer, he witnessed Katie committing the driving infraction. Katie asked for clarification several more times because it would be impossible for her to hold a phone in her right hand. Why? She doesn’t have one. Police car seen through the rearview mirror.

Clearly, the entire lower part of her right arm is missing. After cutting to the bizarre interaction between herself and the officer, Katie shows herself attempting to hold a phone with her nonexistent hand. Spoiler alert—it doesn’t work. In the video, the officer can be heard saying, “If you want to take it to court, option five on the back of the ticket. That’s how you take it to court.” A police officer stops a driver.

Commenters are not only gobsmacked that she could be cited for this particular infraction, but they’re also completely invested in her court case. @slightlyoff.balance Low key thought I had two hands for a minute #palmbeach #cops #PBSO #floridaman #pulledover ♬ original sound – slightlyoff.balance One person begs, “Please take us to court with you, I want to hear the judge.” Another writes, “I’m glad you recorded him saying it was the right hand otherwise I guarantee he would have lied later on and claim he never said that.” “Ok but how would you ve able to drive with a phone in ur LEFT hand anyway,” someone questions. @slightlyoff.balance Spoiler Alert!!!! #limbdifference #mentalhealth #conspiracytheory #update ♬ original sound – slightlyoff.balance “Oh I wanna see a part 2. I know it sucks tho, cause you shouldn’t have to take time off work/life just to prove a cop wrong,” a person laments. One commenter shares a cheeky way Katie could have handled the situation, writing, “I would have said ‘ok I’ll see you in court’ and waved with your right hand to get his reaction. And then still gone to court to let the judge know he was lying.” A woman being pulled over.

But others argue that the officer had already proven to be untrustworthy and would likely change his story. Katie didn’t respond to those questions, but the officer could likely see that she didn’t have a hand while looking directly into her window. Katie appears to have a sense of humor about missing a hand, liking several comments that joke about her limb difference. “I would have held my right hand out for the ticket. So glad you got that admission recorded,” someone writes. “Cutting your hand off to get out of a traffic ticket is wild,” another jokes.
