To communicate effectively, you sort of have to...

  • DO turn off your engine and roll down your window. If you wish, you can keep the window just low enough to talk through until you’re comfortable that this is a legitimate officer, then roll it down all the way.
  • ALWAYS keep your hands on the wheel and clearly visible to the officer. -mamunsonlaw.com

Unrelated: I always found that being honest with a police officer will result in a lesser ticket. I'm obviously referring to minor traffic related infractions.

Anecdotal: I once told an officer that I had "no idea" why she was pulling me over when I knew damn well the reason why. My issued speeding ticket was for $300!

I hope you found this post informative.
