[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Bullshit. The police only have the authority to act reasonably in proportion to the reasonable suspicion they used to justify the traffic stop. Without probable cause of a crime, they don’t have authority to order you out of your car or to search your car or to pepper spray you for asking why they stopped you or to threaten to shoot you for questioning their instructions.

Police don't need PC to order you out of your car. You have no idea what you are talking about. [/quote]

They have to have reasonable suspicion based on facts, not a hunch or profiling. They had nothing. [/quote]

RS is a very low standard.

You might want to brush up on your case law (or google skills haha). The police have the authority to control the traffic stop, which means they can force you to stay in the vehicle or they can make you exit the vehicle. A couple of states do have a higher standard, but they are obviously the exception. [b]Gotta love all the clueless people posting nonsense because hate the police[/b].[/quote]

Not the PP but I really don't think that most people hate cops. Don't interpret questioning the actions of police officers as hating them. There's clearly some confusion amongst the public about what is permissible in a traffic stop. And there are understandable concerns about how [i]some[/i][b] police officers handle interactions with the public, particularly minorities. If there are institutional/structural issues within specific police forces, then now might be a good time to look at them as a society and rethink how we want policing to work in our communities.
