US cop fines woman for texting while driving – why it caused big row

 A Florida woman, ticketed for holding a cellphone in her right hand while driving despite lacking one, had her citation dismissed. The Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office requested the dismissal due to insufficient evidence after the unusual traffic stop gained viral attention. The deputy’s initial observation was contradicted by video evidence, leading to the case’s resolution. A Florida woman, ticketed for holding a cellphone in her right hand while driving despite lacking one, had her citation dismissed.
