A routine traffic stop in Florida quickly turned into one of the internet's most talked about police encounters after a deputy accused Kathleen Thomas of holding a phone in a hand she does not have.
The bizarre incident exploded online after bodycam footage revealed the deputy repeatedly insisting he saw the 36 year old using her 'right hand' while driving, despite the fact Thomas was born without her lower right arm. Days later, the citation was officially dismissed, but the moment left millions stunned and sparked a wider conversation about disability awareness and police training.
