I would add: Don’t exit the vehicle until asked (ordered) as this tends to get them rather excited. Guy freaked and started yelling: “GET BACK IN THE CAR” when I opened the door to meet him at the back.

In years past, this was a common practice. Get pulled over, meet them at the back of the vehicle, exchange pleasantries, move along.

Now, you sit there hoping to leave alive. Strange world.

Saw a guy do that once on an "Adam 12" episode (vintage 1970). I was amazed that Malloy and Reed took it in stride.
