What is NOT a command that the primary law enforcement officer gives to the driver during a high-risk traffic stop?

The command to hold the keys out the window is not typically a directive given during a high-risk traffic stop. In general, during such stops, the primary objective is to ensure the safety of all parties involved, including both the officers and the driver. Commands during a high-risk traffic stop are designed to control the situation and reduce the potential for violence or flight.

Asking the driver to exit the vehicle with their hands raised signals compliance and reduces the risk of the driver reaching for weapons that could be in the vehicle. Similarly, instructing them to lift their shirt and turn in a circle allows officers to visually assess whether the driver is carrying any weapons on their person. Kneeling and placing hands behind the head further secures the individual and allows officers to maintain control of the scene.

In contrast, holding the keys out the window does not inherently contribute to the de-escalation of the situation or the safety protocols that law enforcement typically follows in high-stakes encounters; rather, it can be seen as a gesture of compliance that has limited tactical significance.
