You may fit the description of a suspect. The officer might think you are in trouble or need help. You may have witnesses a crime. If you are stopped by the police while driving, you may feel confused, anxious or even angry. These are natural feelings, but remember, traffic stops can also be stressful and dangerous for the police officer.
Police officers are especially vulnerable during the hours of darkness.
With this in mind, there are things that you as a law abiding citizen, can do to help lessen the unpleasantness of the experience. In all cases, a citizen is required to cooperate with police. Who is not in uniform will present proper identification. Will inform a person of the reason for being stopped. Will only use the force necessary to effect the arrest of a suspect and to maintain custody of the prisoner.
