So, what we do, we suggest they first and foremost do your part and do what it takes to obey the traffic laws, not get stopped." "Many times people want to know what to do, simply what do I do on a traffic stop? It's an uncomfortable situation for everyone involved, for the officer who has to worry about officer safety and for the person, many times female, who are stopped. This is what Captain Brown actually said: Ladies, if you don't want to get raped by a cop, 'then follow the law in the first place so you don't get pulled over.'

And God forbid this ever happens to any of you, but if something were to happen to you during this time, you’ve already contacted 911 and given your location to the dispatcher.
