OK - Now I have to add my 2 cents. I/We do not hit the lights until we find a place where we want you to stop. Continue driving and it adds to my stress level. Are you hiding something? Getting a gun ready? Slowly pull over as soon as you see the lights behind you. Also, do not do anything until I/We get to the window. I do not want to see you digging all around the car prior to me making contact. Have everything you need in one spot and tell me where it is when I ask. If I have to stand there for 5 minutes while you try and find everything, you WILL get a ticket. Be curtious and respectful, and you will probably get a break. Argue, cry, and debate the stop = TICKET!! But that is just me. I remember what it was like to be young and have a hard time writing people for the same exact things that I have done. I also drive my new Camaro like I stole it!! Just waiting for the day I get stopped. The bottom line is that there are cops who should not be cops. If you get stopped by one, I am sorry!! After 14 years I have given up on trying to please everyone and explain my chosen profession. Unless you have seen what I have seen, have to wear body armor and a gun to work, you will not EVER understand. That is OK!! I now understand and do not take it personal. I wish you all the best and will protect you NO MATTER WHAT!!!
