Look at the crap they are teaching CCW holders. No wonder he was shot.
First when the officer is flashing his lights with a conceal carry weapon in the vehicle, get your license out of your pocket immediately. Delay stopping for a couple of seconds to retrieve your wallet. As the officer approaches, have your license out in your hand and immediately provide it to the officer. Remained fixed in your position with your hands on the steering wheel and calmly speak to the officer to assure them that you pose no danger. Don't delay thinking the officer will not ask.
If he ask for vehicle registration or insurance, politely refuse. Some of these items can be pulled up on their computer or later provided to the court. Most police vehicles has high speed data connections and should be able to retrieve your picture to confirm your identity. If they can't than the government has failed to update its technology infrastructure to increase the safety of the public. If the officer approaches before you have any of these items in your hand, memorize your license number and provide that to them.
By doing this you are creating a binary scenario which is the best possible outcome. When they tell you to freeze with their gun drawn and you move, even if you are doing something that is harmless, they put you into a binary scenario so they can quickly respond. You can use these same tactics with them by refusing their unnecessary documentation request (officer these items are not readily available at this moment) and not moving. Sometimes due to poor training, they ask for things that greatly increase their danger or is used to prolong the traffic stop to interrogate you.
What we need is case law from the courts on being able to refuse documentation request due to concerns of safety and being obsolete. These items should be readily available to the government with current technology, the courts can force the government to update its technology. I think they are delaying because this obsolete system gives them extra time to scan you vehicle and look for probably cause for some other offense.
They have given officers the ability to pull you out of a car to protect their safety, why not citizens being able to refuse unnecessary documentation request?
