Southern MN | I appreciate the response and understand what you are saying. So who subjectively decides whether or not the officer fears or fears for his life? If I’m an officer and I come up to any vehicle that is heavily tinted how do I with 100% certainly know whether or not to fear for my life because I can’t see what the individual is doing in the car.
The officer may have been walking away but the officer is going to have to approach again and maybe they feel more comfortable doing that with the window down for safety reasons. The driver is the one that broke the law speeding so if the officer requests, as a public servant, that the window be left down for their own safety, isn’t that a reasonable request and not an abuse of power?
I’m not arguing one way or another. I try to empathize with the officer and I can understand the safety reasons behind wanting the window left down. Man, I would not want to be a cop these days. I get it….there are good ones and bad ones but dang, what a tough gig these days.
