Do you have the right to ask for a supervisor on the scene of a traffic stop? Very common now for a citizen to ask the person who's pulled him over for their supervisor. And you have the right to ask, you just don't have the right to get. It might be departmental policy that if a citizen asks for a supervisor, that they're required to notify their supervisor that you've asked for one. That doesn't mean they have to get a supervisor to the scene. There are general policies and general orders with the police department. There are certain circumstances where the officer is required to notify a supervisor to come to the scene. One of those is a use of force complaint. Like if he has to use force, sometimes it's a departmental policy for a supervisor to be called to the scene on a use of force incident. And that's something that you need to know.
