If you are stopped for DUI in Sunrise Manor, Nevada, above anything else, you have to stay calm and be polite. Keep in mind that police officers are there to keep us safe and they have a difficult job so you must show some respect. First, you have to roll down your window, stay seated, shut off your radio and wait for the officer to approach your vehicle. You have to keep both of your hands in the officer’s sight at all times, preferably on the steering wheel. If the officer asks you to show him your license and registration, tell him where the documents are located. Then, if the officer knows and could see where you’ll be reaching, move slowly.
A DUI traffic stop is a scary situation for you and the police officer. Remember that the officer is approaching a strange vehicle, usually could not see the inside of it, and knows that he’s walking into a situation that could quickly escalate. Because of this, officers are constantly “on guard,” watching for sudden movements to protect themselves from possibly being attacked or having a weapon drawn on them. Do not ever make the situation worse by acting defensive, angry or accusatory toward the officer.
