"Starting August 1, traffic stops will enter the Twenty-First Century. Thanks to Alabama Legislative Act 2017-242, drivers will now be able to show police officers their vehicle registration on their cell phone instead of having to reach across the cab to grab it from the glove box."

What's a cell phone..??
What about the ones that can't show it on their cell phones? And, this is called moving into the twenty-first century, suggesting that it is somehow progress?
"Will now be able to", not required to. The old fashioned paper method will still be acceptable. I don't think they are going to try to force you to buy a smart phone.
I hope the Cop doesn't shoot me while I dig down between my seat and console to retrieve my cell phone.... Mistakenly he only thinks I'm going for a Gun!

Only a matter of time before you're required to conform.
Well, it is Alabama, where most folks over 30 don't know how to use a smart phone. Don't know how they could require 90% of the population to buy something they couldn't use.

Speak for yourself, gramps. Been using smart phones since they were invented and computers since DOS 3.0.

Yes, speak for yourself or look around. Alabama is no where near as backward as folks would have others believe they are. That's why I say it won't be long before folks have to conform and do it whether or not they want to have even more of their lives "out there". If they balk there will be the "old salts" out there to make snarky remarks about them.

The comments on the link are far better than the one's I've read here.

I think I still have my DOS 3.0 floppies stashed away in a closet.

Oh, its not such a big deal. The government has all the info on you it needs anyway. Don't forget, they're monitoring everything you do on the internet and cell phone. Big brother is listening!

Just the ones that voted for Hillary and the rest of the rat pack Democrats.

It's not the government that wants your personal info, SS# and bank numbers. Funny that not a day goes by that you don't hear of someone's "smart phone" being hacked or whatever, and it's never the goverment that did it. Apparently the phone is not smart enough to protect your info.
I don't know. You'd be surprised how many people think their kids/grandkids are geniuses because they can connect wireless devices to "the weefee" (WiFi).

Right you are. But apparently there is a league of those who believe longevity guarantees immunity.
Tell 'em, Forrest . . .

From what I've seen, most phones are smarter than their owners these days. If everyone had to pass intelligence test before they could buy their smart phones, the industry would crash.
