re: One of the most satisfying arrests you'll ever see

Wrong. That used to be the law but SCOTUS made a decision in the last couple of years that passengers can be detained and identified. I can't remember the citation right this second and really don't want to look it up. Google away though. Prior to that, the police had zero authority to order a passenger from the car or detain them if they tried to leave.

FWIW, I am a pretty staunch law and order guy but think this decision is an amazing overreach along the lines of the DWI checkpoint decision. Never the less, they likened it to the police coming upon a crime scene and having the authority to perform an investigative detention to identify who is and isn't involved in the crime.
