Pulled Over Police

If you are pulled over by the police, you should be sure to remain calm, quiet, and cooperative with the police officer. In order to avoid creating any perception that you have committed anything other than a minor traffic violation, you should keep your hands still and visible, avoid moving in such a way that you might appear to hiding an illegal object, and respond to the police officer's questions in a quiet, and respectful manner. If you are carrying a weapon pursuant to a legal permit, you should disclose the location of both your weapon and your permit. The police officer will ask you for your license and registration, and perhaps your insurance card. If you cannot reach these items, advise the police officer where they are located, and provide them to the police officer. If you have been pulled over by the police for a traffic violation, you are likely to receive an informal warning or a formal ticket, which may require payment of a fine and/or a court appearance.
