I dont want to start a debate here but I am going to say this for the last time then I'm going to stop posting in this thread entirely.

IF YOU GET YOUR SHIT OUT OF THE GLOVE BOX BEFORE THE OFFICER GETS THERE, HAVE YOUR DOME LIGHTS ON, AND YOUR HANDS CLEARLY VISIBLE ON THE STEERING WHEEL I doubt, I would have reason to believe the officer isn't going to freak right out.

(this should only take a SECOND or TWO)

Whyd you take so long to stop? - I was finding a safe spot for both you and I.

I saw you rummaging through your vehicle as soon as you stopped. - I wanted to retrieve my information that I know you'd probably want,

Well, I think you are hiding something - Sir i am in no way or shape trying to hide anything illegal in my car and if you'd like i'll gladly step out of the car and you can search anything you like.

This is a GENERAL thread

If you choose to not follow any of the points I've posted go ahead and do it, but in my experience, again i say MY experience, doing the above will usually HELP in getting you out of a ticket.

I haven't even wasted time suggesting politeness, or decency, or respect when interacting with the officer. I'm merely providing tips / suggestions / advice from MY EXPERIENCE

If you disagree with the above, then there must be some confusion.

So in the end, if you care not to read or follow any of the above then yes
Shut your mouth, turn your dome lights on (especially if its night time) keep your window down and place your hands on the steering wheel.

Since I'm defending / justifying my points I'll tell people what I do whenever I'ev been stopped

1.) Stop in a safe place, with 4 ways on, sometimes Ive spent 30+ seconds finding one

2.) Dome Lights are on and the engine is OFF with the key on the dash.

3.) My glovebox only ever has car information in it, warranty, manual, ownership, registration, insurance, all that fancy fun stuff so I get that BOOK out and plcae it on the dash

4.) I put my hands on the steering wheel

yes at some point I've put the window down.

So lets recap

Cars off, information is out (no need whatsoever to go into a compartment) keys on the dash, and hands are clearly visiible. Not to mention the BRIGHt dome light so the LEO can see all areas of the vehicle.

Respecting, and treating the officer with the utmost respect knowing hes probably used to dealing with asshats and jerks which I am most definitely not.

I'm sure this response is going to cuase a stir, but anyone who wants to talk freedoms and illegal searches **** off.

If you have nothing to hide, who cares.
People want cops doing their job, not eating donuts and the moment they get stopped by that cop ''doing'' his job they start bitching.

Let them do their job. And if you can think of a way to possibly make it safer for them I say go for it. If he gives you shit for going through your car well shit I dont know what to say about that.

Ive been stopped numerous times growing up, often leaving sketchy neighborhoods and other wild places that I really had no major reason being in and in that time I've done the tips and advice that I've posted and more times than not I've walked away with nothing more than a stern warning.

Anyways, I'm done with this thread.
Be safe, don't speed, and remember - He's doing his job. that ''you'' want him to do.

-- After reading what I posted i recognize this is more of a rant --
So in my attempt to keep from smoking, and to further embarrass myself I'm going to stop posting all together in it.
