Well, that's in the US. Fortunately, a lot of people live in countries where you can do whatever when stopped and the officer will never suspect you are trying to pull a gun on them, or pull a gun on you.

That's because, in those countries, it NEVER happens (i.e for someone pulled over to shoot the cop). So you can go get your ID or whatever, and then you have a chat, and they maybe give you a fine for speeding or whatever.

The cops here don't even carry guns on their person. If you draw one on them, they will retreat to a safe distance, get out the guns from the trunk of the radio car, and keep an eye on you until the cavalry arrives.
