Whatever makes them feel safe is what matters.I was a bit surprised that I had to turn around and put my hands on my head - although I can completely understand why he wanted me to do it. Has anyone else ever had to do that??
It's nice that you have a positive attitude about the entire traffic stop. I'm sure the trooper appreciated that.
"Whatever makes them feel safe" IS NOT the standard. The law is very clear about this subject.
