LEOs: Sunglasses during a stop

Trying to look at this from a completely objective point of view, I think it's a pretty minor issue. If the officer is pleasant and professional and asks you to remove your sunglasses, are you seriously gonna be offended, put out, or whatever by that request? Is it really an infringement of some right?

That's the tact I usually take. Don't make it difficult for anyone and I've gotten out of some potentially terrible situations by being reasonable.

Youtube heros might take it personally... instead of being rational and decent human beings.

That is hilarious! And spot on...

Yeah, I wouldn't mention that they're prescription to be difficult, but it would help explain why I'm bumping into sh... Er, stuff with them off...

BTDT. I was taught that kindness, politeness, good manners and good grammar would go a long way in life. Hasn't failed me yet...

Oh, and if the officer asks you (or tells you) to take your glasses off... just comply. It's not like he asked you for a rim job. You'd feel awful silly if you were beaten for not following a very simple request.

lmao


Side note, it's ironical I recently posted something about ....."Luke, don't mess with the man with no eyes".

This is my take. We had quite a debate at work the other day and thought I'd post it. The usual "f*ck the police" crowd were all "f*ck no I wouldn't".
