Re: Traffic Violation

I too agree with crazy2medic. In light of the Philando Castile incident and the two others mentioned just in this thread, I think it is unwise to get your ID and insurance before the officer asks for it. Police officers have a legitimate concern for their own safety and seeing someone reaching anywhere in the vehicle would rightly cause them to raise their threat level assessment.

I wouldn't take my seat belt off until the officer is there - otherwise he/she might think you weren't wearing it and get another ticket.

I have decided that if I get pulled over:
Roll down window and turn on interior lights if night and both hands on steering wheel
Don't reach for anything until instructed to do so
But first I will inform the officer that I have my LTC and am carrying and how should I proceed
