What You Should Know When the Police Pull You Over

Michele Mahan Season 1 Episode 18

If you drive a car there is a chance you have already been,  or will be, pulled over by the police at one time or another. Traffic stops are a major part of police work and keeping the public safe on the roads, but there is also a lot of potential for things to go wrong. In this episode, we're talking to Officer Brandon Nelson and Josh Fergot from SBPD's Traffic Division about traffic stops and what police officers want the public to know about them.  What are the dangers? How do officers make them safer? What do officers want drivers to do once they're pulled over? Josh and Brandon answer all of these questions and more along with sharing practical tips to make traffic stops go a little smoother.
