Dangers with seed phrase handling

While surfing the tweeter(X) I came across a few seconds clip from a cops body camera that accidentally recorded the seed phrase of a suspect in the state of Nevada. This suspect ran a red light and as a result, he was parked for investigation and eventually, the cop went through his private things and stumbled on his seed phrase written in a scrambled piece of paper and the suspect went ahead to explaining what it was.

For the officer to have search you, then you must also have asked for their search warrant, this will first give them the fear that you know what you're doing, secondly, checking your paper should not mean anything to them if they are not suspecting you as a target for any criminal activities, so if they see your seeds, that does not mean they should take a photograph of it, lastly, i don't also think its safe enough for us to be moving around everywhere we go with our seed phrase, this is not best for us in keeping it secure, had it been we have more than five wallets, is that how we are going to be taking them across everywhere we go, even while swimming or passing through some hash conditions that may have our seeds at risk on damage.
