Most people have heard the standard advice on how to handle a traffic stop. You know, things like turning your dome light on if it's dark out, turning your vehicle off, keeping your hands visible on the steering wheel, not making fast movements, etc. Most people similarly understand that the above are not magical ways to get out of a ticket. Rather, they are actions designed to send the clear message that you are not a threat. Given the pervasiveness of that messaging and the consequences of even a mistake, it's hard to understand people like the dude in this video. I mean, when the cops tell you to stop reaching you should probably, umm... stop reaching. ~~~ /r/realworldpolice @realworldpolice ~~~ Want to help make Real World Police happen and get rewarded for it?
