A DeKalb County police officer on traffic patrol pulls over a driver for an alleged improper lane change. But what began as a routine traffic stop quickly heads to court over a bizarre theory about "mirror physics."
After citing Lacricia Shantrell Bird based solely on side-mirror contact, the officer attempts to justify the ticket with flawed accident reconstruction. Refusing to pay the fine, the driver chooses to represent herself and mounts an aggressive challenge against the cop's claims.
Now, at trial, Bird cross-examines the officer directly from the defense table. Under pressure, the officer makes fatal concessions, leaving the prosecutor scrambling to bring up old driving records before the judge shuts it down. Watch how a self-represented driver uses basic common sense and simple geometry to completely crush the state's case.
