Don't take the job if you ain't willing to take a bullet over a traffic stop. That's the job. You don't get to violate rights for your own safety. Your safety is secondary as a cop. If you can't handle that fact of the position then you would be a shit cop.

Pizza delivery drivers have a higher chance to get shot than a fucking cop and yet you don't hear pizza drivers capping people left and right for their own safety. So I don't wanna hear your bullshit.

Die for that traffic stop pig. You wanted the badge without the risk.

You don't get to violate rights for your own safety.

Are we still talking about the window? How did telling him to roll his opaque window down violate his rights?

Because it isn't a lawful order. License and registration are all that's required for a traffic stop. If the officer had probable cause that a crime had been committed, then it would be a lawful order, but they didn't. Therefore, his rights were violated.
