Yup, I will *not* be handing my phone to a cop. Period.
Hell, I keep my phone locked and with MORE than the default 4-digit code for just this reason, I also have my phone set to not display texts or other info on the locked home screen. Opening this and giving to them is pretty much going to be considered "consent to search". I don't care that I have nothing to hide, it is none of their fucking business.
Much like when pulled over (rarely happens), and if asked to get out of the car, I roll window up, step out and lock the car behind me. I'm not an ass to them at all, in fact I am very polite, answer as needed, and cooperate, but I do try to exercise my rights.
And...as for the opening story, it was complaining about the "patchwork" of states issuing licenses. So what? People are forgetting, that you are a citizen of your state first, and then a citizen of the US. Besides the fact that a drivers license is a license to drive first, and not issuesdas an ID (you can get one of those for that purpose), there should be no national license, or national ID. The feds have no constitutional basis for issuing or regulating such IMHO. That would be yet another stretch for them overreaching "interstate commerce".
I really, really wish...if we could as a country, is have the government basically tell me how much tax to pay (simplify this)...and then, leave me the fuck alone. Especially the Feds.
For my local/state govt, well, they are more answerable to me, and I will be more willing and answerable to them too....within limited bounds.
That's the way the country was set up, but we've wandered so far off the path over the years.
*sigh*
