“How can the be ‘made aware’ of anything while the driver refused to get out of the car and follow the commands of the police?”
Maybe shine a flashlight into the rear window? Just a thought. I believe most police officers are issued them. I’m also pretty sure they have them installed in their vehicles.

See the video at 56 for why these officers were fully hyped up, guns ready, after a 1.5 mile lights and sirens chase.
They did not know the 2nd LT had his viral video all planned and set up, camera running.
“Maybe shine a flashlight into the rear window?”
The window tint would prevent one from seeing anything inside until right up on the window. The fear would be someone inside is getting ready to shoot the cop and the first the cop would know of it would be when bullets started flying. Windows with tint that dark ought to be outlawed.
In the full video, the temp license was NOT visible at all, and it was clear the cops were nervous about walking up to a vehicle with no idea how many were inside or what they might be doing. Their orders were meant to get the driver exposed. Meanwhile, he was setting up a camera on his dash - ignoring the cops - and smirking and rolling his eyes. His contempt for the cops was VERY clear!
