You know when you have those people that argue the point on a traffic stop and then try to do the old smash the vehicle into gear and take off while you're standing beside the vehicle? I've almost been runover...of course it results in a second stop on the vehicle, but curious how you guys handle this? I typically tell them to remain where they are until I shut off my emergency lights then they're free to leave but as we all know things don't go always go as planned.

I usually draw my weapon and point it at the vehicle if the driver starts to pull away. I've had to do this a few times and it's definitely a nerve-wracking experience. After that I call for backup and keep the driver at the location until they arrive. It's always best to take extra precautions in these situations.

Surprisingly this has rarely happened to me in my career. Not that this is a good thing, but I think the last few years have made people very apprehensive about traffic stops and I notice that people are more respectful, especially when I show them respect first.

I retired from Baltimore city police. I had that happen once, after that I advised the driver if they peel off and swelling the tires, that would be a second car stop and ticket.
I did 5 years in uniform patrol and the remainder of my career as a child abuse detective.
