I do it in anticipation. It’s not like they sneak up on you like a ninja. They are very clearly around.

Plus it takes like 2 seconds. Unless they got you at gunpoint you’re probably going to have an opportunity to accomplish this. Most people interact with police in the US being pulled over - you’re telling me you can’t lock your phone before they come to your window?
