There are many different reasons why you might be stopped by the police. 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 uneasiness of the experience. If you are courteous and cooperative, they will respond in kind. Florida Statute 316.126 requires that all drivers shall yield the right of way to emergency vehicles. Drivers are to immediately pull over parallel to the nearest edge, stop and remain in a stopped position until the emergency vehicle has passed. Do not exit your vehicle unless asked to do so.
