I was taught in driver’s ed many years ago that if you’re stopped by cops, find your driver’s license and have it ready as a courtesy. You can’t do that anymore because they might kill you thinking you are going for a gun. Stay in the car and keep your hands on the wheel. These guys should be fired and charged.
Indeed. Roll down your window and keep your hands on the wheel. If it’s dark, turn on your dome light. When asked for documents, first ask if you can unbuckle your seat belt. Then, one at a time, indicate where your documents are, and ask if you can retrieve them. Do everything you can to put the officer at ease. Oh yeah, and fire these thugs.
