So there you are, having been pulled over, and you hand your license and your unlocked smartphone to Officer Friendly.
Unlike the GEICO ad, most of the time, the cop goes back to his or her road car with your papers. Which, in this case, is going to give him a few minutes to surf through your phone looking for anything incriminating.
Why run the risk? Print out a paper insurance card and stick that into your glove box.

As privacy rights continue to erode it boggles the mind that anyone would continue to make it easier for government to gain access to personal information. Even if one is squeaky clean doesn't it make sense to closely guard your personal space.
Very, VERY good point, and one that most people won't think about. We've given up too many of our rights for the sake of convenience as it is.
Willingly hand my phone to a cop?
Oh HELL no.
