“They often take a few minutes to get out of their car, that is usually when I get everything ready.”
Still a bad idea. Because he sees you “getting ready”. He thinks hiding dope, hiding a gun, getting a gun ready....etc. He also sees you trying to take control of the situation. You aren’t doing yourself any favors. Just sit there, get what he asks when he asks it, be polite and move slow. And no surprises.
Ive seen some people whip out their wallet so fast you’d be forgiven for thinking it was a fast draw.
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.
I always pull MUCH further over to the side than most would giving him more room to maneuver safely off to the side of the vehicle, always have all my documents already out and the window down and hands clearly visible. I am polite and respectful and usually truly sorry and apologetic.
And everything goes smoothly with me getting let go with just a warning 90% of the time.
