do you have your insurance on an electronic format and your phone if so what happens when you show it to the police hi i'm virginia attorney scott nolan and i'm here to talk to you about electronic documentation for insurance now friend of the channel jw says what happens if i have my insurance information on my phone and i want to show it to the police officer do they have the right to search my phone at that point and jw the answer is absolutely not they do not have the right to search your phone however there are some things we ought to talk about and ways to be careful i want to back up for a moment and just talk about electronic documentation for insurance i want you to be cautious about electronic documentation for your insurance and the main reason for that is that only a handful of states recognize that as being valid virginia is one of those that recognizes electronic documentation as being valid for your insurance but if you travel to another state you may have difficulty with the officers of that state second of all as jw has pointed out in order to do this you've got to present your phone to the officer now my recommendation is you don't need to give this to the officer just show it to them say look there's my there's my insurance card now if the officer wants to see it says let me see it go ahead and let him see it but make very clear that you are not giving him permission to search your phone it is absolutely true that he does not have that permission regardless of whether you say it or not but it is well to be clear officer i'm giving you this so that you can look at my insurance card and for no other reason if your officer begins to scroll through say stop i'm not giving you authority to search my phone you need a search warrant for that so the next thing you need to know is not every company has insurance cards that look the same and virginia and most states don't really have any laws on what it has to say what it has to look like it just says that it has to be proof of insurance so that brings up the question well does your insurance company provide you with something intended to be an electronic document or is this just a photograph of your paper document that's better than nothing of course but the more official something looks the less likely you are to be charged with not having it now we're going to get back to that in a moment so if you're going to rely on having your insurance in your phone make sure that it's something that looks official now my final thought on this is to say that it is absolutely legal in virginia to...
