when everyone and their mother has a gun in the U.S., and you’re hiding behind heavily tinted windows, then yes, it is a safety issue. It’s not an unreasonable request to keep your window rolled down during a traffic stop.
Don’t take the job if you ain’t willing to take a bullet over a traffic stop. That’s the job. You don’t get to violate rights for your own safety. Your safety is secondary as a cop. If you can’t handle that fact of the position then you would be a shit cop.
Pizza delivery drivers have a higher chance to get shot than a fucking cop and yet you don’t hear pizza drivers capping people left and right for their own safety. So I don’t wanna hear your bullshit.
Die for that traffic stop pig. You wanted the badge without the risk.
Because it isn’t a lawful order. License and registration are all that’s required for a traffic stop. If the officer had probable cause that a crime had been committed, then it would be a lawful order, but they didn’t. Therefore, his rights were violated.
As we saw, it’s actually a bigger safety issue if the cops can order you to lower your window. Fortunately, you and I don’t get to decide what’s “reasonable” in this context. It would go to the appeals courts, and who knows what would happen.
I think it’s likely that the appeals courts would say that Pennsylvania v. Mimms already let cops order people out of the car, which solves the safety problem, so there’s no need to give cops extra authority to order you around willy-nilly. The ordinary person has a clear interest in knowing what exactly cops can and can’t order, and you’re proposing increasing the ambiguity of it all, which (as we just saw) is dangerous.
You didn’t explain, which suggests shadiness, but let’s assume better… Let’s assume you didn’t understand what I meant.
Cops can let you stay in the car. They can make you get out, if they have solid grounds to do so. That’s relatively simple, and it lets cops choose the best location for the interaction. So it’s safe for the cops (but not the occupants). Whatever, that’s the law, OK.
But they can’t have it both ways. If they let you stay in the car, they’ve already decided you probably aren’t going to grab a gun from under the seat. So there’s no safety issue for them.
But there is for you. They might reach in the window, for example, violating your civil rights. It would be better for them to have to open the door. It’s easy to see big actions on dash and body cameras, and it’s harder to write them off as accidental. You could even keep your door locked. After all, who knows if the cops stopping you are upstanding citizens. Who will vouch for their character, my friend?
Lock the door, crack the window as necessary, get out when ordered, always film the pigs. This is 100% legal common sense. Or don’t, and risk your own safety. It’s your life.

Dude, you aren’t making a lick of sense. Google “officer shot during traffic stop” and tell me again that keeping your window rolled down during a traffic stop is unreasonable.
crack the window as necessary, get out when ordered
two things he refused to do? What are you talking about, dude?

Are we still talking about the window? How did telling him to roll his opaque window down violate his rights?

Not relevant
And why not?
Because Tyreek Hill isn’t going to shoot a police officer during a traffic stop on the day of a game?
