On electric vehicles, when a police officer stops someone, they may have to lean in the window. If that vehicle can leave without them knowing that there is any chance of it moving, they can then get trapped in the vehicle and dragged along; I have already explained how that could be deadly. When we allow officers to control the environment, it also means that they can control the public’s safety, which is the other crucial part of this. While this is primarily about officers’ safety, it is not only about them: it is about them being able to control the environment to keep both themselves and everybody else safe.
