People who drive cars should follow this procedure...there are several things that drivers should so...
….As soon as you see the police officer’s flashing lights or hear the car’s siren, turn on your own emergency flashers. This will inform other drivers that you are the driver who is being pulled over and alert them that you will be slowing down in preparation to pull over.
…Search for a safe location to park your car.
…As soon as you have found a place to pull over and parked your car, turn off the ignition. Never do anything that the police officer might interpret as an intention to get away, no matter how minor your alleged traffic infraction might be.
…Immediately roll down your window if you have been pulled over by a marked police car..
…Be patient. Always stay in the car until and unless the officer asks you to step out. You must exit your car if the officer orders you to.
… When you first begin to initiate conversation with the police officer, remain calm, polite, and respectful. Do not become defensive.
…Let the officer see documents required, if you do not have them, explain and he/she will check you are telling the truth. Be respectful..
Using common sense and good manners can make it go much smoother than it otherwise might.
This goes for anyone, black or white. It is normal procedure also in Australia. Not hard!!!
