I also forgot to mention that as I pulled my gun out I am trying still trying to call out the traffic stop, which was proving to be a bit difficult.
And, I certainly agree about the flying portion, I can't believe how people act during the whole process. INSANE!
As soon as I see that an LEO has an interest in me I get nervous (hey, I don't need a ticket, they cost too much) so I make sure I do everything as right as I possibly can. It doesn't hurt that I played cop for a while and know what most LEO's expect and/or want to have happen.
Thanks for the reply. I've learned from my dad, who's always polite when he gets pulled over. I had my info ready and was polite, but when I get pulled over for going 16 over I expect a ticket.
I can fully understand why, but. I have been pulled over with dogs in my car. The dogs are usually friendly but I don't want to test that theory. I get out, with all relevant information, and stand behind the car before the officer exits his vehicle. The officer tells me to get back in the car and I explain I have dogs. He had a puzzled look and then said "okay, thanks". We talk. He gives me a warning for having a lead foot.Quote:

Ah Pook, all I can say is that no two situations are alike and the officer may have seen the dogs through the windows and thought they looked vicious. That is my best guess.
My Beagles would be climbing all over me to get out the window, to see what treats the friendly officer might have for them! They have no time for threats, life for them is about FOOD!

I wouldn't worry about it. The officer can provide their own protection, and if they don't like where you stopped, they'll let you know with their loud speaker.
