Police Tips: Getting Pulled Over
- Pull over as soon as you can in a safe place once you see police lights
- Don’t make any sudden movements in the vehicle
- Keep your hands where the officer can see them
- Officers will be courteous. They expect the same in return
- If you have a legal weapon in the vehicle, let the officer know where it is and that it is present
- The time to argue a citation is in court, not during the incident with the officer. Arguing could potentially lead to obstruction charges or other problems
