First off, in the past, when I've been pulled over I pull over immediately, turn off my vehicle, roll my window down and place my hands on the top of the steering wheel. Why, you ask? Because I want the officer to feel at ease so that my chances of skating out of a ticket might possibly go up. I DON'T keep driving until I feel like stopping, I DON'T get on the phone and refuse to get off, and most importantly, I DO WHAT THE OFFICER SAYS SO I DON"T GET TASERED!!!!
And with that I bring you this fine Tasering video:

Dirty. that's a good point, but let me add to it.

I used to have a 99 Cobra with a 10 PSI ATi ProCharger. The car was fast and any cop pulling my ass over new it. One time I was being pulled over by a officer and I basically followed everything you listed that you do when being pulled over. With one small difference.

As I pull the car over immediately shut off the engine. I take the car keys out and will do either one of two things.
1) Toss the keys onto the roof of the car and place both hands on top of the steering wheel.
2) or hold then in left hand (say you have a vert or your in your H2) with fully left extended arm palm open out the window while the right hand is on the top of the steering wheel.

The first time I did this (and the first time this was not preplanned) the officer approached and asked, "Why did you toss your keys to the top of the roof of your mustang?" I replied, because you guys have enough to worry about and the last thing you need to worry about is me potentially trying to take off on you.

Believe it or not, I think this action on my part worked, as he let me go ticket free. Never have I got away with a ticket before. I think it is effective because you are acknowledging his power in the situation while putting his anxiety at ease.

The first time I did that as I stated above it was not pre thought out, but it worked so well, I do that every time. Tried it after that, and it worked again.

Thoughts?

What do they say after you tell them you have a gun in here, or a rifle under here? I ask because I carry my glock around from time to time, and always wondered if I would just say "hey, I have a weapon under the seat"

I believe there are some trolls around here that need to study that saying

Oh my, I feel like I am growing up, over 200 posts

Based on some to the post counts, the name HummerNewbie still fits though

Are you kidding me? If I said I had a weapon in the car, I'd be:

1. tased immediately
2. shot immediately
3. get the max fine even if the weapon was legal... and even if they already shot me to death.

I love the police but man, this is an unjust world.

If I was armed and stopped I would have no problem informing the officer where the weapon was located. To do otherwise is just plain stupid.

In VA CWP's are in the officer's computer, so you might as well 'fess up. No need to be an idiot.

I don't think anyone really understood what I was saying.... of course I would be forthcoming w/ that information but in my case it wouldn't matter much what I say.

I'm licensed to carry for 12 years now and in class one of the first things they taught was A) You are in the computer and they know as soon as they run Your tags and B) show them the courtesy and inform them before they run You and tell them what the weapon is and where it is. I asked an officer about this last year as I just had a chance to bring it up in a casual convo. He said that it is the smartest thing You can do is tell the officer everything concerning the weapon in advance and offer to take out Your permit. He may think You are trying to hide something when He runs Your id. The more honest You are up front He said the more likely He will let You go with no problems. He also said He likes to see keys placed slowly on top but, not really needed just His preference and the same as most of the officers He knows. He also said He absolutely likes to see windows rolled down and hands on wheel. I did not think to ask about int. lights on and he did not offer.
Sounds like most all have a good logic going in this area.

You're not white and you think you would be attacked by a police officer unjustly. That idea pisses me off.... big time! It's all in the attitude and the perception. What's yours?

Bitch with an attitude. She deserved EVERY single volt. If she didn't give so much stank, she would have been on her way.

Ken P- You're a bigot!

With that being said, that lady should have never been tasered. Pull her out the truck, Pepper spray her, whatever!. That taser is way overboard. They are even tasering kids now!
