And im saying don't turn your car off unless the officer asks you to. Sorry didn't clarify that point.

The way things are nowadays, no reasonable cop will blame you for not turning your car off. I know i wouldn't and i'm in law enforcement.
Don't they tend to write down your license plate first thing in the offchance you do try to book it anyways?
I would think taking down your plates and car description long before getting out would be SOP.
It is, some of you don't get pulled over enough lol. I never turn my car off, that shits crazy.
Some schmuck named James Lucas or somethin' is apparently the killer.
.Authorities have arrested a suspect in the case of an alleged police impersonator who is believed to have killed two motorists in Mississippi, the Tunica County Sherriff's Office said.
James D. Willie, 28, of Sardis, Mississippi, was arrested and the 9mm handgun authorities say was used in two recent highway shootings was in his possession, the sheriff's office said.
The arrest may put an end to a case that caused a massive manhunt by law enforcement and created panic and fear for many drivers throughout Mississippi.
"Hundreds of man hours have been devoted to tracking down and arresting this individual," Mississippi Gov. Phil Bryant said. "Public safety is of paramount concern to us. Just as a week ago, with the resolution of the kidnap/murder case in north Mississippi, again we see the effective results of a unified effort of several law enforcement agencies working together."
Investigators with the Mississippi Bureau of Investigation had raised the possibility that someone posing as a police officer was to blame for the shooting deaths of 74-year-old Tom Schlender and 48-year-old Lori Anne Carswell, which happened 55 miles apart in northwest Mississippi.
Willie was arrested Tuesday on an unrelated offense. Authorities found the suspect with a woman who claimed that he raped her.
He was arrested, and the semiautomatic Ruger handgun he had was also taken into custody.
"It was determined after testing by state Crime Lab scientists, the weapon matched the weapon used in two murders in northwest Mississippi last week," a Tunica County Sherriff's Office statement said.
The news of this arrest comes a day after authorities said they were questioning a different suspect in the case.
Authorities said a different man was picked up after stopping two drivers Wednesday night. That man, identified as James Lucas, 45, of Yazoo City, was driving a blue Mercury Marquis that used to be a police car and still had flashing blue lights behind its grille, Humphreys County Sheriff Investigator Sam Dobbins said.
Dobbins said investigators searched Lucas' home and found handcuffs and fake badges.
Early Friday, it was unclear what, if any, connection Lucas had to the case.
I wonder if that chick was actually raped. Also, if that lucas guy did the killing but stole the other guy's gun?
So for states that have huge fines for driving while talking, how likely is it to get ticketed on top of what you were getting pulled over for?
I think it's just such a weird thought to have to be concerned about whether a cop is actually a cop for people who live in urban/suburban areas.
If you put me in bumfuck Mississ-anywhere-south-or-west-of-PA I'd probably understand the sentiment a bit more.
Hazards > safe place to park > car off, keys on dash > All windows down > hands on window seal. Ask permission to retrieve documents.
That was my routine when. I was...uh...routinely pulled over. It was a foolproof method until I pegged me for 42 in a 35 and the officer just felt like being a complete dick to my wife and I. That particular officer had quite the reputation in my small community though.
Combo of stop and frisk and the recent break ins on flimsy grounds to interrogate protest leaders about what they were doing on May Day.
got pulled over today and thought of bg and this thread...legit cop though
