IF
YOU'RE STOPPED
*
Remain calm.
* Upon pulling over, turn on your car's interior light. Then power down
your back and front windows, especially if they're tinted. Hopefully,
this will put the officer at ease.
* Place both hands on the steering wheel and keep them there until the
cop tells you otherwise.
* Answer all questions politely and with the same respect you would
expect.
* Follow the police officer's directions.
* Announce your movements, even if you're following an officer's orders
to make that move. * If the officer is going to write you a ticket and
you don't agree, save your complaints for the courtroom.
* If you wish to file a complaint, try to write down the cop's name
and his or her badge and car number. After the stop, record the officer'
physical attributes, and the date, time, location and any witnesses
to the stop.
