So much complexity, so many third parties you have to rely upon to not make any mistakes (or be abusive), for the convenience of not carrying a slip of paper in the glove box of your car....
- meowkit 5y agoStrawman, Mr. Luddite. I don’t want cash, a wallet, plastic cards, metal keys, or tons of slips of paper from receipts and all other kinds of bullshit. Putting it on the phone as a native app is hardly complex. Use QR codes, an officer won’t need to look at your phone
- lintroller 5y agoWhile I am not a security expert, it seems like a security risk for an officer to scan a QR code with their device.
- meowkit 5y agoIt could be a runtime hash of your data that the police database would already have. Why would that be a security risk?
- Riseed 5y agoI still keep the slip of paper in my glove box, but that only helps me if I'm in my own car. The digital version is an excellent tradeoff on the off chance that I end up unexpectedly driving a friend's car or a rental.
