Sir, I just need to see your drivers license.
It’s free, every week, in your inbox.
This sounds good on paper.

And that should be obvious.
It says right there that you dont have to hand your phone over to anyone.
If you trust every police officer in the US, you have nothing to worry about.

So just use your physical ID for the police and your Apple Wallet ID for other stuff.
There are a million ways cops can coerce a person to unlock their phones and hand them over.
The more people who choose the convenience, despite the danger, the more normalized the concept will be.
This is calledstratification, and its already a huge problem in US government services.
You dont have to use it, Apples just giving those of us who want to the option.
Thats not a good thing.
If youre okay with that, this feature was definitely designed to appeal to you.
