....and then there is this. When a passenger keeps inserting themselves into the stop, I am usually inclined to separate them. You know how you separate two people inside a small box? You get one out of the small box. Which SCOTUS lets me do. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

The cite goes to the driver (if he gets one). The way the passenger was answering for the driver and interjecting herself into the contact would result in most any cop wanting the driver to step out.

Quoted:
"In contrast, the potential daily burden on thousands of innocent citizens is obvious." Any risk to officers, Stevens wrote, "must be weighed against the unnecessary invasion that will be imposed on innocent citizens under the majority's rule in the tremendous number of routine stops that occur each day....[C]ountless citizens who cherish individual liberty and are offended, embarrassed and sometimes provoked by arbitrary official commands may well consider the burden to be significant....[T]he aggregation of thousands upon thousands of petty indignities has an impact on freedom that I would characterize as substantial, and which in my view clearly outweighs the...safety concerns.... "How far this ground-breaking decision will take us, I do not venture to predict," Stevens darkly concluded. "I fear, however, that it may pose a more serious threat to individual liberty than the Court realizes." - Justice Stevens That guy got pulled over for going 9mph over. View Quote |

I've probably been pulled over a dozen times. Just for speeding. What sort of reasons can cops ask me to step out of the vehicle? Of those times I probably only got 3-4 tickets. I always have license, insurance, and reg in my left hand, both hand on the wheel. Truck off, window open with the lights on. Eta, and if I am not giving him a reason can he order me out just cause he's having a bad day? View Quote Your honour, while the subject walked to my squad his gate was staggered and then I smelled ETOH on his breath while he was seated in my passenger seat. This gave me probable cause to perform me to a field sobriety test. Odds are you won't talk yourself out of a ticket, but sure as hell you can talk yourself into one.. You may beat the rap, but you're not going to beat the ride... |

So, you're saying that the interior light wasn't turned on for benefit of the officer's comfort and safety, but was turned on for better lighting for the lawsuit video?

I agree. Driver was an asshole. Cop asked him where the gun was, driver refused to answer. That is plenty to set off the cop's spidey senses and it was obvious the driver was just looking for a confrontation. His wife was stirring the pot hard too. They have a history of suing the state and he was recently indicted on assaulting a police officer. I want to know why his CHL hadn't been revoked.

Can we see more info on drivers pending charge of assault on a police officer? Even though I have buddies who are LEO I have seen plenty of bad officers file a report claiming that either they were assaulted by someone just rolling up a car window or trying to open or close a car door etc. I will wait until the court case is settled before I hang the guy as guilty. That being said. I agree that the driver should have just obeyed the officers request but I still think the request was unwarranted. And for those of you who keep bringing up the PA law about Mimms..... you realize that there are bad laws as well right? Like 10 round limits in magazines..... etc..... just because there is a law doesn't make it right. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

I am going to have to ask my cop buddies about this. But I imagine asking someone out of a vehicle has to increase the likely hood of going hands on. Because now you are in physical contact as you are escorted back, probably a pat down as well and maybe "cuffs for my safety, but you are not under arrest". So now a quick ticket or warning escalated into something potentially more dangerous because both actors are on edge.
I don't get why everyone just falls in goosestep with the "court decided they can do it so it is proper". I have to imagine that for "their safety" cops could pull every last person out of their car at every tiny infraction because they are legally justified..... when all it would do is piss off good citizens who have basically done nothing wrong(maybe failed to signal a lane change) . To me it just seems like it turned a traffic violation notification into a Terry Stop. |

Why is that guy not speaking? And why is that harp answering for him?
I'm not a cop, but I'd get him out of the vehicle too. |

I live in Dallas. If I'm carrying on my person and the cop lights go off, first thing I'm doing is taking gun off and putting it in glove compartment as I merge over to the shoulder before I come to a stop.
Never had an issue. Hand CHL with DL. Cop asks if I'm carrying, I say "yes". They ask where the gun is and I say "glove compartment". Never an issue. |

View Quote Still, the cop didn't violate anything asking the guy to step out. His wife was bitching a 'tude so he was looking to de-escalate the situation. I've been through a few checkpoints myself and while GA is not a notification state I always inform the kind peach office I'm carrying while handing my CHL and liscence. I've never been asked to step out of my car, just not to reach for my weapon; 10 and 2 on the steering wheel. That couple was obviously looking to pick a bone over the stop, yeah a broken tail light is kind of a BS excuse but it still gives probable cause. Treat the office and his job respect and he/she will do the same. At least that's been my experience. <shrugs> |

Cop knows you have a gun in the car. Asks you where it is. Reasonable request, IMO.
You refuse to answer and the other occupant starts getting shitty with the cop. Yep, you're getting out of the car, easy way or hard way, LTC or no. |

View Quote Less movement is better raises far less suspicion. Movement looks like something is being hidden or possibility that a weapon is being reached for can be threatening if suspected of an "unlawful" act. Glove box or not. On that note some states have transport laws that even if CCing the weapon has to be on their person. If found loaded and chambered in the glove box, and a search is done they could now nail you for the unlawful transport. |

Both parties are at fault here. The driver is mostly at fault for failure to comply with a lawful order. The passenger really escalated things as well. You seriously must be a certain kind of defective to think you'll win a pissing match against an officer.
Had the driver told his wife to shut the fuck up and got out of the vehicle, the video wouldn't have been YouTube worthy. |

I just finished washing the Jeep and since it was dark I decided to check my vehicle lights. I have recently replaced all the exterior lights except fopr the high beam, near roofline brake light and license plates lights.
Guess what I saw? Both license plate lights are out. Better fix that so I am not dragged out or given a ticket. Bulb is #168. Not the same as others replaced. I should have ordered those with the others. Off to O'Reilleys...when it is light out. |

let's just admit it, the police in this country want everyone to be guilty until proven innocent. And if you aren't doing anything illegal, what do you have to hide? All the shit reminds me of communist Poland. They make it seem like it won't be abused because people are inherently good, but people are actually inherently bad.

The wife should have kept her big fat mouth shut and let the cop do the talking. Follow instructions, be NICE and respectful and be on your way. If they were cool they would have probably got a simple warning to get their light fixed. Like "Hey can you tell me where the nearest auto parts store is so we can drive over there right now to buy a bulb?" would have probably done the trick.

If he would have told that bitch to shut up and not say a word then talked to the cop like a man there would have been no issue.

I'd pull him out too with the passenger yammering like that. I'm talking to him, not his wife.
Some of you guys are real sheltered if you think a carry permit automatically means you are a good guy. Plenty of shit bags in the hood have permits - they are the ones who hold the guns for their felon buddies until it's time for shit to pop off. |
