Quoted: There are 708,000 full time police officers in the United States, plus a shit load of reserves and part time. If only 1% are bad apples that is more than 7,000 bad cops.

One of the communist's goals was to destroy the American people's faith in their institutions. Do you ever wonder why certain posters and internet algorithms feed you a barrage of this stuff?

My interactions with leo's over the course of 40 years have made me think the way I do, not the internet or media. Getting pulled over for speeding, well not actually speeding. Being threatened with arrest on my own property, while officer dipshit arrests my 73 year old neighbor for felony DV and false imprisonment, when he was beat to shit and she didn't have a mark on her and has dementia. Officer fuck face was arresting my neighbor no matter what was said, all charges dropped. Actions of Leo's have done this and them alone. |

Quoted: There are bad apples everywhere. We have probably a dozen folks who post pretty consistently anti cop stuff. Cool. Approximately 250k people every year die From medical malpractice. Outrage? View Quote When they do something painfully stupid like we saw with the doctor removing the wrong organ and killing someone. Yeah. But even then I will suggest there is a difference since doctors don't show up and use force to make you partake in their services. Since informed consent isn't at the core of these interactions, I suggest we treat the malfeasance seriously. |

Quoted: My BIL had a rough time at Soldier Field because of the ticket app. Went to a Metallica show, I guess the place is a dead zone. No one could open the app to have the tickets scanned, so they didn't let folks inside. Had to walk around until he got a signal so he could open it. Ended up missing Pantera over the whole deal, which he really wanted to see. He said he thought folks were gonna riot. View Quote I learned the hard way to always download tickets Before going to the venue for that reason. We also make sure that at least two of us have the tickets downloaded for redundancy. |

This is why I have a proof of insurance card and DL in my wallet. My registration is in the glove compartment.
Putting that crap on your phone, worrying about going paperless and such is lazy and problematic. |

I can't understand why anyone would have naked photos of themselves on their phone unless they were wanting to track the growth of a concerning mole on their ballsack or something

Any nudes on your phone are copied by the NSA and are used for NSA employees to have fun with
Along with any other information that they care to take Remember the fat NSA employee who got caught with 16 Million dick pictures that she had downloaded off of NSA computers and took home? |

Sounds like an awesome new feature for cell phones
Passwords for select parts of the phone content So you can lock most of the phone and have a “public” folder you put some things in for the cops to see. Or even make the photos and folders be invisible so they don’t even know that they are there |

Happened here a few years ago
https://www.cnn.com/2021/06/10/us/minnesota-former-trooper-nude-woman-texts/index.html This pervy cop was smart enough to delete the texts from the victim's phone before giving her the phone back. However phone was synced to computer and detected later. |

Quoted: If you had nudes on your phone, why on earth would you give it to ta stranger? View Quote Wait a second, I thought police were to be explicitly trusted and given respect! What if the cop demands you surrender your phone, what do you do then? Fight him for it? What if he just snatches it out of your hand while you are showing him the info? Fight him for it? |

Quoted: I don't remember having to show proof of insurance, but it has been nearly a decade since I have registered a vehicle - as opposed to just renewing tags. View Quote I did when I moved and reregistered my truck. My sons tags expired when he went into the Navy between the move and they would not let me register his car to the new address without proof of insurance and I had to call our agent and have her email his policy to me. Mom and dad had to show proof when they moved from Shelby County to Benton? County. It's a thing. It doesn't stop people from buying a policy, registering a car and immediately cancelling it tho, OR registering it out of state. |

Learned something new, for Android, you can pin an app then lock your phone. Gives access to that app only. If you do it right you can have your insurance card shown, all other pics in a secure folder/other app and have your phone locked. Suppose could also be useful for other things like locking kids into a game app too.

Quoted: The last time I got pulled over I could not find my Insurance card and told the officer from the SO. He said "that's ok, I saw it online". Apparently both the SO and PD here have access to that info by entering your license plate number on their in-car computer. View Quote Last time I got pulled over in wife's car , her console was full of shit and I couldn't find it |

Quoted: Some states have insurance data on the NCIC return, others do not. It's not always accurate either.

Apparently both the SO and PD here have access to that info by entering your license plate number on their in-car computer. He just pulled me over because of a light being out, which was probably more of an excuse since it was 3:45 a.m. No ticket. I was on the way to work and replaced the light on the way home from work. It's not always accurate either. I've seen plenty of cops nowadays open the door and scan the VIN on a handheld, brings up everything, ownership, reg/insurance, inspection/smog, if thats ur state, the correct plate, runs the RO Strange as fuck until I realized what was going on. Cop walks up, quick chat, "HEY, do you mind if I open the door to scan the tag? " people can have fake reg papers on their window and shit I suppose but nobody probably ever checks the door tag |

Is there an app that can lock the phone and.allow only the chosen document to be open?
Illinois has electronic CCW . There not supposed to look at anything else. Handing it to him to read is not unreasonable but what if he decides to go back to the car? What exactly are you going to do to stop him. |

View Quote iPhones have guided access built in, which can lock the phone to a single app, can even put a time limit on it before it locks out entirely. If you want to show just a single screen turn on guided access then disable touch screen. Officer can look at what is on the screen but otherwise cannot interact with the phone. |

Quoted: There is no reason to take someone's phone after they show you proof of insurance. I won't even touch it. But lots of folks will basically toss you their phone.

Quoted: Just keep paper copies of things. They don't run out of battery. View Quote Most people don't own a printer and cheap printers have a nasty habit of fucking themselves if not used regularly. Combine this with lots of insurance companies no longer sending you paper proof of insurance and you have this situation. |

Quoted: That's where I have a problem w/ any document on my phone or tablet I'm going to hand to someone. I'd much prefer to have a lock screen app or option that will only show that document, and will only show it when authorized. Now I realize w/ physical access things can be hacked, but it takes time. View Quote This is a good idea so I did a bit of digging (this is for android). There are some dubious apps available but I found a method that does not require them. Save your proof of insurance, game tags, whatever as a pdf. (This is because the built in pdf app has no navigation, if you just have it as a screenshot they can still dig around in your gallery) Turn on app pinning When someone wants to see them: Open the pdf Go yo overview (either tap square or swipe from bottom to center) Tap the icon for your app Now home and overview are disabled and back only works within the app which in this case means it goes nowhere. To leave the app you press and hold back and overview, it takes you to the lock screen and after unlocking phone is back to normal. It's not perfect but it's a lot better. |

That's a lot of work for simply showing insurance. Once you have it enabled and your docs stored as pdfs then it only takes four extra taps when you want to show something. How lazy are you that that is "a lot of work"? There should be a button combo that disables the touchscreen, second press of the combo takes you to the lock screen and re-enables it. It might be possible to write an app that does that on Android, pretty sure that it is not possible on iOS. |
