Speaking of Cops... cops will tell you that it really freaks them out when they pull somone over and they ask for your driver's lic or car papers... and the driver NEVER breaks eye contact with them as they go searching thru their car for said papers. By maintaining eye contact with the cop... the cop thinks you might be about to pull out a weapan - bc we all know you have to LOOK at what you wann hit/shoot! So... when you get pulled over... ALWAYS break eye contact when you go looking for your wallet or car papers thru out your car!!
