Jason Stiber was pulled over for talking on his cell phone. He hired a lawyer to prove it was a hash brown.

“It was the case of the century,” Stiber’s attorney, John Thygerson, said with a laugh. “He was quite pleased. Obviously, he was quite pleased.” “Distracted driving violations go on your record and they never come off,” Stiber said in an interview. “Plus, a lot of people don’t realize your insurance rates go up.”
Ultimately, the judge concluded Friday that the state was unable to meet its burden of proof, citing a lack of evidence that shows Stiber was actually on his phone at the time he was pulled over. The Post reviewed a copy of the decision, in which the judge cited an appellate court case involving another Connecticut driver who was found not guilty in 2016 after being pulled over for using his phone.
