The first thing to pay attention to is the attitude of the military. If he’s standing right in front of you with his legs spread wide, it indicates that he’s confident in his control of the situation. But when he’s bent over, options are possible. The first is simply fatigue.
Bending over at the start of the shift (e.g. in the morning) may indicate his lack of confidence in his own actions. It is likely that the traffic cop is planning something illegal regarding the stopped driver and thinks that this could get him into trouble.
But what if he strokes or scratches his neck or the back of his head in a conversation with you? You see a sure sign that he’s hanging some kind of “noodles on your ears.” The same gesture is considered a manifestation of a sense of one’s own vulnerability and readiness for defense – in any form.
In a conversation with a traffic officer, attention should also be paid to the movements of his hands. The main gestures in this case are involuntary touches of the earlobe or nose. They talk about the speaker’s desire to hide, to disguise some kind of deception. In this case, the motorist should probably be alert and prepared to be dragged into some sort of police “wiring” that doesn’t bode well. When such gestures are shown by a person who is listening, they indicate that he distrusts the information received. For the police, this attitude towards the driver’s words is the norm. By definition, they view everyone they meet as potential perpetrators.
Many motorists probably noticed that the traffic cop literally drills you with his eyes during communication – as if trying to play “viewers”. First, on the part of the soldier, this is an unconscious attempt to prove that he is morally stronger than the driver. Secondly, in this way he tries to understand “through the eyes” of his counterpart: is there something to hide from law enforcement officers.
A number of psychologists believe that the tendency not to look the interlocutor in the eye can be explained by a subconscious reluctance to provoke aggression on his part. We’re talking about the monkeys, if anything. To avoid unnecessary “digging” on the part of the man in the case described above, you can not look away, but look at a dot in the middle of the police’s forehead. At least let him look at your pupils.
It is also worth paying attention to how the police officer talks to you. The moments when he suddenly slows down his speech require special alertness. This usually happens when a person begins to think hard and select words. In the situation of a patrol driver dialogue, this means that the police officer has come up with some trick or is already performing it.
Note that literally no one can read minds from body language. But it is quite possible to understand what the cop who stopped your car actually achieves with his help.
