    So I increasingly think this isn’t the best idea as it may have you handing a phone over to authority figures.

    But handing the physical license to be scanned can be just as bad- it can end up scanned into some third party security services database to be hacked , disbursed

    @Chancerubbage Virginia is pushing that crap too. They keep sending me emails and texts ( this morning the latest ). They keep sending them to my dead wife's accounts too, which is disturbing. No I'm not handing an unlocked phone to any rando

    @markwoll I think the notion is, a government kiosk or law enforcement officer can merely give your phone an nfc tap, and silently approve or fill in a form quickly with less friction. Being carded for liquor purchase.

    The thing is, on the backside this could be used to track and build profiles and is at least as insidious as Flock Camera.

    But so are credit card payments, if laws weren’t in place to protect privacy in that transaction somewhat.
