A woman was shocked when she received a fine for allegedly using her cell phone while driving. However, the photo attached to the letter clearly showed her holding the steering wheel with both hands.
The case was reported by Krista Campbell, who appeared on her TikTok profile to say that she had received a US$ 1,250 fine for the alleged violation. Apparently, she received the fine because her phone was on her lap, facing down with the screen turned toward the floor.
“I just received a US$ 1,250 fine in the mail for having my phone on my lap facing down and both hands on the steering wheel. Very cool,” Campbell said in the video, which has already accumulated more than 5 million views.
In the comments, internet users were, understandably, outraged by the situation. “This is what happens when AI is allowed to issue fines without human intervention,” one TikTok user analyzed. “Meanwhile, Teslas are iPads with wheels,” another said.
“If I can’t change the music on my phone, then what is the point of CarPlay, really?” asked a third internet user. “Getting closer to 1984 every year,” another reflected, referring to the dystopian book by George Orwell.
