That little action was just *asking* for trouble. You were stupid, plain
and simple. When stopped by a police officer you *never* get out of the
vehicle unless instructed to do so. Had you been carrying something that
could have looked even remotely like a weapon, you could have been shot,
and the cop would have been justified in doing so.

Why call him stupid? There's no call for that kind of snap judgment.

Tell that to the cop.

He may be a better learner than you and know more than you.

Doubtful. Another example of Darwin's Law. I was amused because of the
stupidity of his actions.
