How an Innocent Gesture Led to a $400 Traffic Fine

He was surprised when the fine came in the mail, as he hadn’t used his phone that day. The photographic monocam system captured drivers using their phones, but it doctored an Hansen’s innocent head scratch as a phone use violation. Upon reviewing photographic evidence, Hansen saw that his hand was near his ear but wasn’t holding a phone.
