Ted you're really hung up with the idea that citizens are required to remain in a prostrated position during a stoppage. If the man was arrested you have ever right to expect he obey your commands. Before an arrest he could hand you his papers, look you in the eye and not speak a word till you go away. You can not threaten to shoot someone for moving around in their car. If you're a cop you need to find a new line of work man because you're scary. Failure to comply? What did the officer order him to do? Step out of his car? No thanks. I'll stay in my car unless I'm under arrest. I think, Ted, you mistake the conduct of fearful citizenry as compliance with law.
