[QUOTE="Slack, post: 1339669, member: 13947"] I do something similar, but I do all of my (probably suspicious) pocketing and glove box digging for ID & insurance verification preferably before the officer even gets out of his car. I want my car off, hands on steering wheel, windows down, interior light on, all papers present by the time the officer gets to my window. I do this for my safety and officer comfort. To me this isn't rude, but then again I am showing preparedness, not impatience which I think you were implying. I can imagine that your method may provide more opportunity for the officer to allow you to go on your way as it is more risky and for the officer to allow you to reach for your DL, especially after informing him of legally carrying a concealed weapon :-) To me, it does increase your risk anytime you have to reach for anything in front of an officer that cannot see your hands. I have empathy for an officer doing a routine traffic stop, especially at night, or with multiple passengers in the car. There is not a lot of difference between upstanding citizen and cop killing gang banger as your walk up to their car. [/QUOTE]
