Must be nice. I can’t remember the last time I drove across Louisiana and didn’t get pulled over in some podunk town whose only source of income is speeding tickets. We’ve had digital IDs here for years, and I can’t help but think that getting people to handover an unlocked phone is exactly the point.
Yeah, I can’t speak for Louisiana, but in CA the goal appears to be to avoid handing over unlocked phones, since that completely negates the privacy / security pitch behind digital IDs.
