TX Cops pull wrong car with mom and 4 kids in it

It's sure was lucky the mother did just as the cops said or she could had been shot.
 
Incidents like that is bound to happen all over the nation. With the amount of arrests and bad/incomplete information 911 operators get, it's just inevitable. Even if only 0.5% of these kind of incidents happen, that's still probably 3-5 incidents a day that could be posted online and make people think it's a sign of evil or meanness.

Which reminds me of this story of a bunch of cops pulling over a car because a 7 year old was waving a toy gun around inside:

I saw this on the TV not on line. , the cops where told it was a tan or beige color car, the woman car was not the color . I feel cops over reacted and the person with the gun got away and who know there may had never been a person with a gun in the first place. Plus there said only men in the car ,there where 4 young kids . The cops really screwed up this time.
 
I would be totally ticked off. If they scared me and my kids like that I don't know what I would do.

So what happens when us deaf drivers get told to put our hands in the air? Obviously we can't hear those instructions. What do you do?

I thought of that as soon as I saw this on TV, what if the woman was hoh or deaf , would she had shot for not doing as the cop had instructed ? I wonder if cops are trained to take this in consideration . I guess I would stayed in my car thinking the cop would come up to it as they always do b/c I had done nothing wrong.

It might be a good idea to have a sign that you can hold up although at night it's hard to see sometimes. Did a search just now and this article addresses that question and also provide a PDF file you can print to make visor cards: Visor Cards—Bridging the Communications Gap When Stopped by the Police

I could had use a sign liker that at Shaw's today ,I guess a woman was trying to get by me and asked me to move my wagon , I did not hear her and she got pissed off and pushed my wagon out her way. It seem to be a crime to be hoh or deaf .
