Hi my name is Shaun Appler, Investigator with the Wrightsville Beach Police Department and on behalf of Expert Village I am here to talk to you today about what to do when you are being stopped by the police.

Now while the officers approach and the when the officers are talking to you remember one thing, keep your hands where the officer can see in.  Remember what I said earlier, the officer’s mind set is that he wants to go home safe at the end of his shift.  He probably has a family, people that he loves, people he wants to go home and see.  He doesn’t know you anymore and you know him but the thing is that he wants to make sure that he is not going to be hurt.

If you keep your hands whether or not you have a weapon in the car you keep your hands where the officer can see him, he is going to feel lot more comfortable talking to you.  If you start [Inaudible], I need to see behind the seat, behind your back typically these are places where weapons were concealed and the officer is going to be nervous and he also may draw his weapon and so make sure you keep your hands where the officer can see in.  Another good point I am going to tell you is if you don’t want up to right and round counter bundling on your seat, don’t go on trying to hide it, all right.  The officers are trying to see that while they are stopping you, while they are walking up to the car, its going to make the officer know this because you maybe trying to hide a weapon.  Its going to create a whole lot more problems for you.  If you are not smart enough to be right and round all the stuff lying on your seat, chances are you have been caught just go ahead and be honest with the officer.

Hi my name is Shaun Appler, Investigator with the Wrightsville Beach Police Department and on behalf of Expert Village, I am here to talk to you today about what to do when you are being stopped by the police.

I want you to pull over the side of the road or to the side of the park and later on the side street.  Once you have done that, remain in your vehicle.  Resist the urge to want to get out, and explain yourself to the Officer right away.  Don’t worry he is going to come up and talk to you.  Stay in the vehicle now unless the Officer tells you different.

Now we will cover that we will cover more about what you do after the Officer approaches in a second here but let me tell you first, if the Officer asks you to get out, he doesn’t need a reason, going to the Supreme court; he doesn’t need a reason to ask you to step out of the vehicle.  If you request that you do wait till he does, but if he does ask you step out go ahead and comply with the officer, the same goes for the passengers.  If the passenger is in a vehicle Supreme Court says an Officer can actually ask the passengers to step out and he doesn’t need a reason to do it.  Most of the times you will find that the officers are asking for safety issues so remember the same theme safety.

If you are on a busy highway and the Officer doesn’t feel comfortable standing on the side of your car where traffics going by because he may get struck by a passing vehicle, he is going to go ahead and ask you step out stand up to the side of the road.  So just remember stay in your vehicle until directed otherwise by the Officer and if the Officer does direct you otherwise, comply with what he asks you to do.
