GEICO Piggy Pulled Over Commercial
 

Geico insurance thinks consumers want to give their personal cell phone to police is they get pulled over?

Ill stick to handing over the proof on paper

it's going to be their way of going paperless.

its the same thing. information is information

id still rather hand them paper

wouldn't doing that give them consent to search your phone? GFY lawyers?

Actually, I think a bigger issue is, do you think a cop wants the responsibility of your $700 cell phone? Not going to happen.

Have you never been pulled over? If you try to hand a cop your wallet when he asks for your driver's license, he is going to tell you to remove it from the wallet. When cops get scanners, maybe then they will scan the bar code on your wrist.

In states with mandatory insurance the cop knows if you have it BEFORE he even pulls you over.

the cop took my wallet, my keys, and everything else in my pockets. and me!

it was a DUI tho

:2 cents::2 cents::2 cents:

Unless you live in Chicago. Then they quietly fold the bills you have placed under the wallet and salute you with "Have a nice day sir" :thumbsup

They should; doesn't mean they do. :2 cents:

I know they don't.

I actually have Geico, and I was pulled over by a University of Florida police officer a few months ago while visiting my daughter on campus in Gainesville. I showed him my license, registration and insurance card, but the insurance card was an old one. He said he needed to see proof that I had current insurance, or he was going to write me a ticket for it. I remembered that Geico had an app, so I downloaded it, entered my info to check my account status, then showed him my proof from my phone. He didn't seem too impressed, but no ticket for me.

I think I pissed him off from the get-go, though. He pulled me over for "running a stop sign", said I rolled through it. I didn't. In fact, I was stopped for probably 30 seconds behind the line. The car in front of me was completely passed the line, and when he finally went, I did too. That's when he pulled out of his hiding space. I asked him, "could you see the white line from behind the bushes you were hiding in?". He let me go with a warning. :321GFY

Considering I'll bet a lot of people don't have their current papers on hand, Geico is probably counting on this... that way you don't get hit for driving without insurance.

But the bigger issue here really is that the real pig is the cop... would have made much more sense that way.

Yeah, great fucking idea GEICO. Let me give my phone to a cop, whom I'm sure WONT try and look though it to find evidence as a reason to keep it or come up with some bs crime.

I have friends that are cops and they told me if someone handed them a phone, they would go through the pics and messages and harass them
