    Unless they’re installing implants, it should be safe to turn it off first.

      The article is about using your phone as JD…why would you turn it off if you’re trying to show a police officer your ID?

        Yeah that’s dumb as shit. The only reason you wouldn’t want to turn off your phone immediately before you have an interaction with police is if you plan to film them
