This is a practice which, internationally, is pretty widely accepted. Jurisdictions such as Canada, Australia and several EU nations already have this law. In these countries, they have found that empowering officers to control the stopping environment significantly enhances officers’ safety and helps to de-escalate potential threats. Many officers say that if they could have been more in control of a situation, it would never have spiralled out of control in the first place, which protects both them and the public.
