WORST THING TO DO EVER. especially if it's traffic / highway patrol officers.
They think that you are trying to intimidate them even if you are not, best is to pull over, leave seatbelt on and keep hands on steering wheel, let them walk over and then ask if they mind if you hop out and stand outside with them...then they think you are really polite etc. I used to do the whole get out thingo, but in my fourby i had to literally hop down, had the pepper spray case and gun holster unclipped on me a couple of times, always asked why and the response was 'you got out of the car'...'what's wrong with that?' was my answer...'you seem aggrevated and intimidating' was the normal reply.

As has been stated in some previous posts, no matter how many times it happens, no matter how innocent you think you are, its still gets the adrenaline pumping. I've had more than my fair share of pull overs, tickets, arguements, and court appearances....only took me 3 years of driving and 12 months of suspensions to figure out, the cops are right so easier to just follow the rules.

That's my evangelical rant for today :
