He gave you permission to search the glove box, which can be done from the drivers seat. When a driver or passenger[s] exit the car, two alarms go off, safety for all. The cop is responsible for your safety. You stopped the car at his command. The driver is out looking under the passenger front seat, my alert goes to RED, women have shot cops.

I have stopped cars, and the driver almost immediately gets out and starts walking toward my cruiser, I pick up the PA mic and tell them to stay in their car. Cops get hit while out of their cruisers, and people have gotten of their cars to shoot the cop. Some people get real rattled when the blue light special rolls up behind them.

I had one stop, college age female returning to college, on the interstate, I was running radar an hour before sunset. She was “cooking” 95 MPH in a posted 65. After she stopped and we did the formalities, she told me she was speeding because she wanted to get to college before it got dark, she was afraid to drive it the dark. The toughest job a cop has, it to inform the loved ones a family member has been killed. And they teach you in the Academy how to do that. But the teaching does not make it any easier.
