Ah yes, this is a *great* way to turn “Can I see your driver’s license?” into “Can you hand me your unlocked phone so I can rifle through it?” at a traffic stop.

Yes, it’s more convenient than having a separate card, and it may serve as a great backup in case your physical card is lost or damaged. But please don’t use this as your *only* driver’s license, especially if you are an often-targeted demographic.

@drahardja I like this in concept, but we need an app that absolutely locks anyone out of the phone while these documents are displayed, and locks the phone onto video and audio recording mode as well.
