2 seconds. I hope not. 2 seconds is plenty of time for the kid to kill the Cop. I had a highway patrol stop two days ago. My rule if stopped is to sit in the car, with my window down,looking forward while I have both hands holding the top of the steering wheel. I don't do or say anything until the Cop comes up to the window and says something to me. I know that the most tense time for an officer is when he approaches someone in a car. As it happened in this case, I was able to feed him the info that I was an 81year old man who had just moved from Hawaii to live with my daughter. He was as relaxed as I was going to get him. He asked for my D/L and registration. I got my wallet out and proceeded to try to get my license out of the holder. I tugged and twisted on it and it just wouldn't come out. He commented that they could be hard to remove. He finally said, "just show it to me in the holder. Now show me your registration. I am going to let you off with a warning this time." I guess he figured I was a feeble old man. The point of my tale is: "a happy policeman can be a harmless one. Keep them happy."
