My experience living in Arlington, TX was quite different. The officer that pulled me over walked around the back of my car, because he saw my security camera mounted just below the rear view mirror in the window.
I'm thinking, dude's on some bs, but I kept my cool. He approached slowly, with his hand already on his gun. My hands were already on the steering wheel, my credentials on the dashboard & my window's down just enough to pass them through.
The first thing he asked me was, "Can you turn off your camera"? I replied calmly, "No sir". He asked me to roll my window down further. I replied, "No sir". Then he started trying to open my door, then asked. I replied again, "No sir".
He stated, "You have a nice day & be careful, it's dangerous out here". Then walked to the back of my car, looked in my passenger window & winked. Got back on his bike & drove off.
I sat there for a second breathing heavily, then started my car & took my ass back home.
That's why I say if you can avoid driving alone, please do & ALWAYS have your protection handy. You NEVER know how the situation's going to be. BE READY, NOT GETTING READY! 💯
