How would you handle a situation such as:
You witness a driver traveling 30 MPH above the speed limit so you pull the car over. You approach the car and ask for the driver's ID, which he/she hands over to you without incident. You return to your vehicle with the person's ID. As you enter this information in your mobile system, the driver gets out of the car, hands to the side, no weapon that you can see, and approaches your police vehicle, approaching in a steady but commanding pace.
what is the proper way to deal with this situation? does it matter if the person is twice your size and looks like an MMA fighter or smaller in physical size?
ive been trying to come up with scenarios in my head, and how i would answer a question if asked during a panel interview, and this scenario i have never been able to figure out whether deadly force would be required, or whether this is one of those situations where hand to hand combat (or less lethal option) will come into play if that's on the driver's mind.
Thank You
