Yeah, I want to see that bodycam footage too.

‘I’m writing you a ticket for holding a phone in your right hand while driving.’

‘I don’t have a right hand.’

Proceeds to show cop the lack of a right hand.

Gets a ticket anyway.

That video is insane. Is the guy so arrogant that he couldn't conceive of being wrong? How could he possibly continue to write a ticket after this interaction?
Misogyny. Can’t stand being proven wrong by a pretty woman. If it was a dude they would have laughed it off.
Ticket quotas.
Remember the cop who shot, in the leg, a person who was just lying in a crosswalk: [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shooting_of_Charles_Kinsey]. Why? "¯\_(ツ)_/¯". Cop was convicted of essentially dipshttery but had that overturned.
