House Democrats introduced legislation that if passed would force federal immigration enforcement agents to wear a public-facing identification in the form of a clearly visible and scannable QR code during enforcement actions.
The measure, H.R. 7233, was introduced last week by Rep. Ritchie Torre, a Democrat from New York, and referred to the House judiciary and homeland security committees. It currently has two cosponsors, Democratic Reps. Darren Soto and Shri Thanedar, and has taken no steps beyond initial referral.

I have seen phones auto-open scanned links, it was one based on android.
that is really bad application and you can choose some other. it is really not the norm. the point is this is not some universal vector of attack.
it is stupid attempt for a solution anyway, but not for this reason.
