FYI I do not agree with the Majority Opinion. I believe this opinion gives the police way too much power. Also I am a retired old white guy (72). I have been pulled over several times by the police in my lifetime and can remember 2 times I was asked to get out of my car. I did comply. If I remember one instance resulted in a speeding ticket and the other a warning for a burnt out brake light.
