But before [the deputy] could get very far with his explanation, Ms. Thomas held up her right arm. There was no phone in it. There had never been a phone in it because she has no right hand.

I have a dashcam. I recommend it as well. It's made me a more careful driver that road rages less because I know it's all on camera. Sometimes I wonder if I need a decoy camera though in the event of burglary and, perhaps, if I'm removed from my vehicle by police. I hate this paranoia
