Again, you have to me smart and respectfull too. If I am driving a tinted out car, and I get pulled over, ALL my windows are down prior to me even coming to a full stop. Partly in hopes the cop doesnt see my tint, but also to show the respect to the officer for the exact reason you just stated. I have done this many times in my other tinted cars, and actually got a respectfull cop pull me over for tint, and when he came to the car and all the windows were down he asked me “Arnt your windows tinted?” I said yes, but I rolled them down so you could see me inside the car as you approached. he said thanks and actually let me go.
Now on the flip side, when I parked in front of the police station in my tinted jeep, and asked them to give me a police report becasue I backed into a hydrant burried under a snow bank and needed my insurace to repair my car… and the mother fucker writes me a unsafe backing (2 pts) and a window tint ticket on the spot… I do fucking not repsect his actions at all.
Nobody wants to get shot. Honestly just being a cop doesnt put cross hairs on your head. Yes your more likely, I guess. But its no more dangerous than a steel worker falling to his death off a building, a tow truck worker getting creamed by a car, repo man taking a drug dealers car back… everyone in public could have their life taken at any moment. Life sucks becasue of that. Sure some jobs have more of a risk than others, not dening that. But I didnt fill out their job applications, they choose their paths. Everyones jobs are stessfull for many reasons, becasue your having a rough day at work doesnt give anyone the right to disrespect someone. It should be no different for a cop pulling over car after car, and showing the same levels of respect for each one. Just like a cashier at a store who gets one scumbag ass hole customer that pisses them off, the next in line behind them should flip the reset button in the cashier’s head and should be given 110% respect.
