The people building this know nobody wants to hand their phone over to the police.
- Muromec 11mo agoSurely police would never say their reader is broken and never make it your problem
- runako 11mo agoPolice sometimes confiscate licenses (rightly or wrongly). Having your license confiscated when it doubles as your wallet, MFA device for work, and primary communications device sounds like a disaster.
- jlokier 11mo agoYou make a good point. In principle the police Wallet reader could have a function to virtually suspend the license, instead of physically confiscating your phone. I wonder if they thought of that, and I wonder if police would use the option or confiscate the phone anyway.
