Should I stay in my car after I am stopped or should I get out and meet the officer?
You should remain in your car. An officer might interpret someone suddenly exiting their car and approaching him/her as a threat. Stay put and refrain from a lot of movement, even if it is simply to tidy up your car. Keep your hands visible on the steering wheel and the officer will come to you.
