A Florida sheriff's deputy is facing intense internet backlash after viral body camera video captured him doubling down and ticketing a woman for using a phone in her right hand โ even after she revealed her right arm stops at the elbow.
The roadside hiccup went down in Lake Worth Beach, Florida, in February, when a Palm Beach County sheriff's deputy pulled over 36-year-old Kathleen Thomas. The officer insisted she was clutching a cellphone in her right hand.
But body camera footage released this week captures the moment the deputyโs case blew up.
As the officer began lecturing her about the dangers of distracted driving , Thomas did not even bother to argue. Instead, she flashed her right arm, which ends at the forearm.

"I don't want to call a day. You had a hand manipulator," the deputy said. "I thought I saw your hand."
