LAKE WORTH BEACH, Fla. — Newly released law enforcement body camera footage has sparked widespread discussion after showing a Florida deputy issuing a traffic citation to a one-handed woman for allegedly holding a mobile phone while driving.

​The traffic stop took place in February along North Dixie Highway and Lake Worth Drive in Lake Worth Beach. In the footage, the driver, identified as Katie, can be heard explaining her physical inability to hold the phone in the manner described by the officer.

​According to court records, the deputy ultimately issued Katie a $116 citation for the violation. However, following a review of the incident, the ticket was later dismissed at the explicit request of the involved deputy.
