A woman drives with both hands on the wheel. Her phone sits face-down on her lap. No officer pulls her over. No lights flash. Weeks later, a $1,251 ticket arrives in the mail. The evidence: a single frame from a Camera surveillance app. The charge: phone use while driving.
Automated camera companies market their devices as automated license plate readers — tools for catching stolen cars, flagging warrants, and aiding serious investigations.
Sold as a Crime Tool. Used as a Fine Machine.
Pictures of crime are valid evidence. Get off your fucking phone when you are driving.
Don’t care if you kill yourself with your dangerous driving but you are just as likely to kill someone who doesn’t deserve it too.
Glad somewhere is actually giving out proper fines for it. Here its a token fine, although they do eventually remove your license if caught multiple times.
She wasnt on her phone. It was on her seat, under her leg, face down, with her hands both on the steering wheel, and the camera simply spotted the top of the phone at an angle no human being could have possibly seen, nor would be able to claim she was operating it.
The pictures others have posted here show the phone clearly on her lap.
