In before someone says “I’m not handing my phone to a cop!” 🥴


For those having a hard time imagining how this works and to quiet the paranoia in this thread, here you go:



It doesn't unlock your phone, you DO NOT hand your phone to anybody, nobody even needs to look at your phone because you're not showing them a picture of your driver's license, you're authorizing access to specific information from your State's database.

You tap the terminal, it tells you what it's requesting, and then you agree to send just that information with a Face ID confirmation, just like Apple Pay. Your phone remains locked and in your possession.

Do you give your phone to the police or do they scan it when they say, "DL and registration".

Riighhhhhhttttt, always under the guise of "convenient and quick". These "features" are just another step in getting people closer to accepting the satanic mark of the beast. People need some serious waking up to do. Remember cash will always be king, and physic will always be better than anything "DIGITAL" aka artificial and fake and doesn't exist.

My state probably won’t ever support this, so all I can say is that drivers license artwork is beautiful.
