The training is supposed to keep cops from panicking. Try jumping into a sedan on a highway as an angry LLB with a bad license has the accelerator pedal to the floor. One person did this and got the driver on the ground in about 15 seconds.
"Neubert said he didn't have any idea who Roberts was -- or that he had a warrant out for his arrest. He told jurors he did suspect that the man, because of his driving and behavior, was under the influence of drugs or alcohol."

Cop: "You may not drive across lanes of traffic as you did. You almost caused a major collision. I need to see your driver's license and vehicle registration." Driver: "Don't got my license... forgot it at home... maybe you can look at this stuff... wasn't speeding..." Cop: "Turn the car off and step out." Driver: "I wasn't doin' nothin'! You stopped me 'cause I'm DWB." Cop: "Get out of the car... right now!"
You don't look away from the driver.
