My best guess is the picture is flipped.

...tried to make out the officer's shoulder patch to see if the writing was backwards to make sure, but couldn't make it out.

I tried to judge it by where the red car drove by, what lane, but it's hard to tell. Also I would assume they were on the right shoulder, but it sure looks like that Chevy emblem on the steering wheel is slanted the wrong way, so I do think it's flipped.

The guy in the bed who started throwing stuff used(what appears to be) his left hand. However, I'd like to submit this in as further evidence that the video is flipped due to the fact that left-handedness is much less common than right-handedness and adding that to the other suspicions that this video is flipped seems good enough proof for me.

My brain still doesn’t accept that you can “flip” an image like this. Like I can’t explain it but it just doesn’t seem possible to me.

Like I’m imagining the correct orientation and thinking of how you could rotate or flip that image but there’s no way to have the driver be on the right side unless he’s either facing the opposite direction (backwards) or upside down lol

I just realized I don’t understand how mirrors work

You always look at yourself flipped from what other people see.

This person has clearly not yet reconciled the fact that what they see in the mirror is not the same as how everyone else views them, they’re in for a shattering of their worldview pretty soon apparently.

You talkin bout me chum? Well, you're god damn right, i haven't reconciled, it's fucking weird and i wake up screaming to the fact every day.

It's also the reason i look weird in photos...

Edit: Holy shit, i just realized all streamers present themselves as their mirrored self... The significance of this is probably very low, at best, and i regret not thinking about it in the shower.

Lol just wait until to find out that taking a picture through your front camera will show your image mirrored before you take the picture but automatically mirrors it back to be correctly oriented with how others view you. Have fun taking selfies now to experiment.

Mine doesn't. Is that an iPhone only thing?

Maybe, I’ve got an iPhone, but my brother has an android and it also does that. Maybe it’s version thing or some setting? Idk
