CARSON CITY, Nevada (PNN) - March 1, 2019 - For years the push to replace physical drivers licenses with digital drivers licenses has relied on one thing; privacy.
But all of the "fake news" the public has been fed about privacy is about to come crashing down, literally.
A Nevada bill, if passed, would allow terrorist pig thug cops to search everyone's smart phone.
Nevada bill AB200 allows terrorist pig thug cops to search the phones of everyone involved in a car crash.
"An act relating to motor vehicles; authorizing a peace officer at the scene of a traffic crash to use technology to determine if a driver was using a handheld wireless communications device at the time of the crash; requiring the suspension of the driver’s license of a driver who refuses a request by a peace officer to use such technology; providing penalties; and providing other matters properly."
Does anyone still believe that once terrorist pig thug cops use a CellBrite to spy on your phone or discovers your smart phone's unique MAC address that they will not track you in the future? If retail stores can track customers’ MAC addresses without a warrant, don't you think terrorist pig thug cops will too?
The bill states that motorists give up their rights simply by driving in Nevada.
"Section 1 further provides that any person who operates a vehicle in this State is deemed to have given consent to the use of an investigate technology device on the handheld wireless communications device when requested by a peace officer at the scene of a crash. If a person refuses such a request, the peace officer is required to seize the driver’s license or permit of the person and issue an order suspending the license or permit for 90 days."
What does this mean?
If you are granted the privilege to drive by the government you agree to give up your Fourth Amendment right against being searched without probable cause. Do you still think Amerika is the Land of the Free?
If you think Fascist Police States of Amerika terrorist pig thug cops will respect motorists rights and only search your phone for just your drivers license information you are living in an imaginary place.
Defenders of digital licenses will say Nevada's terrorist pig thug cops are only trying to determine if a phone was being used prior to the accident and that is it.
"When using an investigative technology device on a handheld wireless communications device pursuant to this section, a peace officer may access and view only evidence of use of the handheld wireless communications device which violates NRS 484B.165 and shall not intentionally access or view any other content on the handheld wireless communications device."
Would you willingly hand your phone to a stranger and let him or her walk away with it for 5-10 minutes? Would you trust a complete stranger (terrorist pig thug cop) not to search your smart phone?
Trusting terrorist pig thug cops with your phone is a horrible idea, as an article in the Huffington Post warns.
"By unlocking the license, phone owners could expose their data to whoever is checking it,” said Chad Marlow, a senior counsel at the Amerikan Civil Liberties Union in New York.
“While an officer normally would need a warrant to search a phone, in the real world, drivers who don’t know the law could be pressured into handing over the phone, allowing access to everything from contacts to text messages," he added.
Assembly Bill 200 goes on to explain that if you refuse to hand your smart phone to the terrorist pig thug cop, your privilege to drive will be suspended and good luck trying to get a temporary drivers license.
"The scope of the hearing conducted pursuant to subsection 6 must be limited to whether the person refused the request of the peace officer to use an investigative technology device on the handheld wireless communications device in the possession of the person at the time of the crash pursuant to this section. Upon an affirmative finding on this issue, the Department shall affirm the order of suspension."
If you are given a choice between handing over your phone or losing your license and getting a ticket, what would you do?
That is not much of a choice is it?
Being coerced into giving a government employee your personal information means terrorist pig thug cops have essentially been turned into the fascist TSA. In the coming years we can expect every state to pass laws allowing terrorist pig thug cops to search motorists’ smart phones.
Do we really need any more proof that storing our driver’s license and personal life on a smart phone is a terrible idea?
