“Basically for the first moment I start to get pulled over ever action I take is to protect the officer and make him feel safe.”
Do it however you want sport. It’s no skin off my nose. But rooting around in the cab before he approaches doesn’t make a cop feel safe.
My method results in the window down, and me holding my ID and papers with my hands clearly visible while doing so.
Any other method involves reaching your hands into a glovebox or out of site behind you to get your wallet out. Either of which 100% of the time results in your hands being out of site which can be alarming from the cops perspective.
