Florida cop confidently writes up woman for driving with a device in her right hand. He just misses one tiny detail

Katie, who goes by @slightlyoff.balance on TikTok, posted a video of a traffic stop incident on February 11 that quickly racked up over 39.5 million views, according to BroBible. In the clip, a Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office deputy explains Katie’s receiving a citation for holding a wireless communication device while driving. The officer specifically states he saw the phone in her right hand. 

Katie, who is missing her right hand, pushes back. The officer doubles down, telling her to take it up in court if she wants to contest it. She plans to do exactly that. The ticket, issued under Florida Statute 316.305(3)(a), carries a $116 civil penalty. But legal experts say the citation likely wouldn’t hold up in court, even if Katie had two hands.
