I don’t want cash, a wallet, plastic cards, metal keys, or tons of slips of paper from receipts and all other kinds of bullshit. Putting it on the phone as a native app is hardly complex.

While I am not a security expert, it seems like a security risk for an officer to scan a QR code with their device.

It could be a runtime hash of your data that the police database would already have. Why would that be a security risk?
