Not sure if true, but someone raised an issue when this was first announced. That you can no longer refuse to unlock your phone when stopped, since you'll have to unlock it to show your digital driver's license.

This would put an undue burden on all citizens to have one or the others' platform in order to be in public, which would be illegal on a ton of fronts.

It's bullshit. Whoever said that is absolutely paranoid.

It’ll take so long before you can even leave your physical ID at home and count on everyone accepting your digital one. And it may never happen that people stop accepting your physical one.
