A few months ago I changed my GPS address at a stop light and was pulled over for texting. I explained to the officer what I was doing, and he requested to see my phone. When he saw that Waze was the open application, he let me go.
My question is: under the new law, are we required to comply with requests to see our phones? Will there be penalties for not showing our phones similar to penalties for not taking a field sobriety test? And how will disputes be resolved if it’s one person’s word against an officer’s?
