I usually scream "I can't breathe!" and run for it.
More than likely, they will take a photo of the digital ID and go back to their vehicle and confirm the information.

What happens if I only have my Digital ID and am stopped by an officer from an agency that doesn't accept it yet??
You'll need to show your physical driver license or state identification card in that case. Coloradans need to carry their physical ID until Digital ID is fully accepted in all jurisdictions and the state passes legislation stating that carrying physical ID is no longer required.
Can an officer take my phone if they suspect the Digital ID may be fraudulent??
If an officer is unsure that a Digital ID is genuine, he or she can ask for your physical ID. They cannot take away your phone.
Can law enforcement accept my?Digital ID if there is no cellular network, Wi-Fi or internet available??
Once a Colorado Digital ID has been created within the myColorado app and the setup process completed, the holder can display it even if there is no cellular or Wi-Fi service available. Law enforcement that leverages eCitation technology can accept Colorado Digital ID without a network; however, the data sharing process via a QR code requires internet service. In this case, if there's no internet service, you'll need to show your physical ID.
You could also make a copy of your ID and laminate it. Not accepted as ID anywhere, but it's better than no ID at all. Just be sure to say "this is a photocopy" so they don't accuse you of presenting false ID.
It?s even more fun when your kid only had digital ID and his phone dies. Good times.
Please explain why someone would want to only carry a digital ID?
Yeah, CPW came out with a digital hunting fishing license a coupe.years ago so I thought I would check it out and add it o my phone until it got to the point where it wanted me to take a photo of myself. Nope. I know, the gov already has that on file but why make it easier for them and load an app on your phone that then gives them access to everything on your phone?
the kids these days--the phone is their life, and truly they don't want to mess around with other physical things (credit cards, costco membership cards, cash, etc.)Quote:

Interesting. My son is 17 and would never even think to not have his physical ID, debit card and some cash on his person.Quote:
