Yup. Even better, don’t put yourself in a position where cops are pointing guns at you!

Although to be fair, I found myself there once. Going on a late night walk and apparently I matched the description of a perp who was in the neighborhood. Got surrounded by multiple officers with guns drawn at the same time. Scared the heck out of me. But I simply complied with all orders, presented my identification very slowly when asked, and made sure to keep my hands in plain view. Also made clear that while I had a CCW permit, I was not carrying and offered to let them search me.

When they realized I wasn’t the perp, they gave my identification back and offered me their names and badge numbers in case I wanted to file a complaint. I declined. They were just doing their jobs. PS The perp was a serial rapist and they did get him.

Note: when getting my ID, I asked permission for every action I took. Example: “Ok, I am going to get my wallet. Is that OK? Can the officer behind me see my hands?” And I moved VERY slowly.
