New questions about what happened after an Oklahoma trooper pulled over an ambulance crew last month in Okfuskee County.
The scene of the trooper with his hands up against the paramedic’s neck has gotten all the attention.
FOX23's Abbie Alford takes a look at what happened before the confrontation got heated.
In the infamous traffic stop between an OHP trooper and an EMS crew, the dash cam video shows a trooper ordering the driver to get out of the ambulance.
The trooper’s attorney says there was nothing wrong with his stern approach.
However, Tulsa Police say they try to approach things differently.
Tulsa Traffic Officer Paul Downe says respect for the motorist is part of it but caution is even more important.
Typically, drivers are not asked to leave their car.
"We don't know who were stopping. Could be a good guy could be a bad guy," says Downe.
Police say it’s the bad guys, people who they believe are criminal suspects, are ordered out of the car.
"Let’s say your car matches a description of an armed robber. The officers are not going to approach the car. They're going to stop, they're going to tell you to put your hands out the window, step out of the car. My suggestion if you get in that position. Do what the officers asks you to do," says Downe.
Officers may also take extra precautions if a driver does something to make them suspicious.
"We don't want people digging through their glove box or reaching in their purse until we get up to the car,” says Downe.
