Traffic stop and driver conduct-- how should you behave?
Question for LEO's all the people that carry. If you're pulled over by a LEO how should one behave? I've read a couple of suggestions but I'm wondering what the glock pro'ers think. Here's what I've heard/read:
-- Roll down all windows
-- Interior lights on if it's at night.
-- Hands stay on the steering wheel until asked for license/registration.
-- I realize it'll vary from state to state whether or not you're legally obligated to declare if you have a loaded firearm in the car. For me, when I'm asked by the LEO I would hand them my drivers license as well as my CCW license, then answer all questions he/she has while I keep my hands visible and on the wheel.
Does this seem reasonable so far?
Thanks in advance

I too would never consent to a search of my vehicle. However, I've been involved in a heated argument with a few LEOs I know who insist that if they pull you over for a traffic violation or a bulb being out on your vehicle, that is a violation of the law and therefore gives them reason to search your vehicle.Her's the thing on vehicle searches, or any searches for that matter, without a warrant or some sort of exigent search, they are completely voluntary. Repeat completely voluntary.
Is this correct? They insisted that if they "wanted" to search your vehicle, they'd search your vehicle.
