That could get you shot, stay in your car with hands out the window or on the wheel and leave on your seatbelt.

In my neighbor hood, when you get pulled over if the door opens, guns are drawn. Get out of the car without being told, shots fired. If it a nice cop theyll tell you to over their PA to get back in the car and keep hand where they can be seen.

All it would take is to put yourself in their shoes to know it's not a good idea.
Sure you may be trustworthy, but not everyone is. |

I drive naked, just for this very case.
When I get pulled over, I immediately exit my vehicle. Being naked shows the officer I am no threat and have no weapons. |

I'd turn off the engine, and sit tight with my hands on the wheel. I wouldn't want to be a cop approaching an unknown vehicle these days. 20 years ago things were a lot different.

10 years of driving now and I have been pulled over exactly once. Sounds like some of you people get pulled over every other day.
Yes I am knocking on wood right now. (that sounds bad) |

Stay in the car. If we want you out, you'll hear the loudspeaker. Pretend it's one of those amusement park rides - you never know which way it's going to turn, but it's a pretty good idea if you stay seated.
 Otherwise, we lose out on the whole good-ole-boy-strutting-up-to-your-car walk.

If someone pops out of their car when I pull them over, they either:
A) Have something in their car that they don't want me to see B) Are going to run for whatever reason C) Want to fight Here is the better thing to do: 1) Put both hands on the steering wheel 2) Roll down your window 3) Turn on your dome light if it's dark 4) Maintain a polite and friendly demeanour 5) Don't reach for your license, registration, or proof of insurance until I ask for it. Generally speaking, I won't shake hands with someone until after I've established that the person I'm talking with is not a threat. Again, please don't jump out of the car - that's one good way to really cause a jump in a cop's heart rate. |

Dude,
Some simple rules to avoid getting shot during a car stop: DO's: Shut off the engine. Turn on the interior light. Place hands on steering wheel in plain sight. Roll down the window. DON'Ts: Make sudden moves. Reach into the glove compartment until told to do so. Reach under the seat. Get out of the car. ETA: And the biggest and most important rule of all is to never admit to anything or consent to a search. ETA2 because I'm a moron...

I think it has alot to do with your first impression. If you're older, drive a nice car, dressed nice, not covered in tattoos, don't have an attitude, don't move in a threatening manner, then it's likely the officer is not going to perceive you as a threat. It's worked for me many many times, and I actually get out of many tickets with just a warning. |

Stay in the car.
I usually roll the window down, place left hand on the rearveiw mirror outside the car, place right hand on the top of the wheel and turn the dome light on irrespective of time of day. When the officer approaches and asks for registration or license, I say "I will be more than happy to get them for you officer, but I must first tell you that I have a firearm in the vehicle with me." I have never had a problem. Actually got out of a ticket one night because I told him where to get a deal on a .357 like the one I had.

I don't get out, usually it's unbearable hot, or cold, I sit where it's cool, or warm depending on the outside temperture.........then there is always the possibity you'll get hit by another car. screw it, he is the one that pulled you over let him do all the work, and take his chances of getting hit by a car. I also just barely open up the window to hand him my license, and registration

My grandpa was a Chicago cop. One of the first to ride patrol on motorcycle. In his day it was polite to get out of the car and walk back to the cop, and I used to do that back in the 70's and early 80's. I haven't been pulled over in 20 years. Glad I read this...

The best reason to stay in your car is that you are much safer from other motorists as they drive by rubbernecking and being their normal inattentive selves.

Exactly. We were taught that the police wanted us to get out of the car and go to them. Now we have jerks like TheCynic that call people stupid for doing what the police told us to do.z |

On the few occasions I have been pulled over, I do this: 1. Find the safest nearby spot to pull over. If I'm on a busy street or highway and a side road is close, I will slow, signal, and pull off of the heavily trafficked road onto the side road, proceed a short ways, and then stop. 2. Pull way the heck over so the LEO can pull over and be as far out of harms way as possible. 3. Turn on interior lights if it is night; roll down both front windows; shut off radio; shut off car. 4. Remove keys from ignition, place on dash in front of me. 5. Both hands on steering wheel at 10 and 2; wait for officer. I've gotten a ticket once having been stopped about five times in my life. Two of those stops were "bored rural LEO" stops. I decided the above 5 steps were about all I could do to ensure the safety and security of both myself and the LEO stopping me. And, not only does it keep us safe, but a safe and secure LEO might be less likely to feel the need to write a ticket! Jim |

I roll down the window, open the door, take a knee behind my door, and pull out my fiream to show him I am a CCW holder while yelling "I"VE GOT A GUN!!!"
It's the only way to be sure.

I quickly put on my seatbelt while I am stopping so I can argue that I was wearing it all the time...
but I sure as hell aint getting out...thats looking to get shot. I always heard to keep your hands at the top of the steering wheel so the cop can see em as he walks up. Never helped me though. The cops at our local roadblock (about once a month at 10-11 at nite) vary on how they act towards people stopping. I think it pissed them off the nite we stopped, with the whole family laughing at them..and me and my wife both said...you're at it again? (they did it two nites in a row). they musta heard that a ton that nite as they got mad. course when you can look in a bmw and see a family of four having fun...what else you gonna assume but they were laughing at you.
