The driver’s right hand is near or reaching into his pocket- how is the officer to know he doesn’t have a weapon in that pocket? This may have been an innocent act on the part of the driver- but driver is not cooperative and then reaches for pocket- dangerous gesture at that point.

It's absurd to argue that a person deserves to have a weapon drawn on them because they have a hand in their pocket. The driver had not done ANYTHING wrong at that point.

If the officer was SO concerned with his safety, why did he turn his back to the driver and walk all the way back to his squad car with his back turned?

And your experience as a "Law Enforcement Officer" and performing a traffic stop on an unknown vehiclle.....

You would let the driver proceed with no rstrristions...

Is that a statement made in stupidity, or do you really believe it?

my suggestion is to let it go....

I finally got my audio to work. I didn’t realize the officer told him to get out of the car. I was figuring his fast response was because the guy came up unexpectedly behind him. I really didn’t like his report to the other officer either.
