Being pulled over by LEO

Never have been, and don't plan to be. Very curious as to the actual procedure if it happened. Now I'm sure the officer would come to the side door ( by passenger up front on our DP).

So should I get up and open the door and step out to meet them, or allow the wife to unlock the door. If you allow them to step inside or you open the door to them have you given up your right to being searched as we invited them in? Or let's say they climb the step and sorta put a arm inside on the dash. Just wondering what the legal ramifications would be. Personally our dogs wouldn't take kindly to their entrance.

If anyone has had this happen what has it gone like? I as many others believe in protecting our rights. Just curious if making them stand outside raises flags on their end. I certainly wouldn't invite them to sit in my car if that were the case.

Just pass the info needed out the screen door opening?
Might be a silly post. Just has me wondering what most people would do

  • Me personally. I would wait until they came up to the driver's window and gave me instructions. I would not let them come in the coach period without a search warrant. That warrant should spell out something specific they are looking for.
  • No way are they coming in without a warrant. Period.
    I would stay in my seat with my hands on the steering wheel.
    Wait for the LEO to walk up to the side window and be ready to hand him or her my info.
