When a police officer asks for proof-of-insurance, most people reach for their card. When it's expired, most people take the ticket. Paul reached for his iPhone and saved himself $200 and a suspended license.

A reader over at The Unofficial Apple Weblog was driving through a small blizzard when he slowed down and was rear-ended by another motorist. The investigating officer who arrived asked Paul, the driver, for his insurance card. Unfortunately, it was expired. In many states, if you're unable to prove your insurance you have to pay a $200 fine — and, because your insurance normally acts as a bond, if you don't have the cash, put up your license for bond.

Being cash-poor but rich in sense, Paul logged into his online Geico account via the iPhone's web-browser and got a PDF copy of the card mailed to his phone. The officer accepted the proof and no ticket was issued. While we don't expect this to work with most officers, having the web in your pocket might become a big help when driving — as long as you use it primarily when you're parked.

I thought it was a neat story to share. It's awesome how some cellphones can save people from getting into trouble. lol
 
I keep all my security and fire alarm manuals on mine. It has got me out of trouble lots of times. Monitoring companies email me pdf's of alarm activity so I can show customers what has been going on. I wouldn't be without it and I was a confirmed N95 man before.
 
I went to see a band here in Sydney one night and forgot the tickets. I went to the ticket office and showed them the confirmation email on my phone, and they reprinted them for me on the spot.

Welcome to the 1990s.

In New Jersey, the cop knows who the registered owner is, if he has any warrants, if the car is insured, if the car is registered and if the car has been inspected before he even gets out of the police car.

The police have some fancy device called a "computer' in every car.
