What you do and say during a traffic stop is important…
Note: You should generally let the officer do the talking, responding where appropriate. For example, when asked to hand over your license, registration, and proof of insurance, you should say something like, “Okay,” or, “Sure,” and fork over the documents.

Whether the traffic stop ends in a simple moving violation or an arrest for a more serious crime, your choices are critical. Your dignity might be offended a little at this point, but remember that you’re just doing a few simple things to put the officer in an optimal frame of mind. http://goo.gl/JBwjXB
