Maybe they genuinely thought you were using a mobile phone. I don't know anyone who drives with their head resting in their hand so I assume it would be easy to think you were using a phone.

I imagine with phones being small these days they would be difficult to see in police video.

Of course that doesn't excuse them for being rude.

If you go to court and explain that you have a handsfree kit and weren't using your phone then you may get off with that, but you may well be fined for driving without due care or something for having your head in your hand.
