That way, he won't think you're jumping off the bike to run away, and he won't think you're trying to retrieve a weapon from the bags. Don't get off the bike to get them until he/she is there with you. I've had lots of dealings with Cops, both positive and negative. Be cool, and usually they'll be cool too. You might not get that ticket after all. Maybe just the famous "warning". But remember...if you're a jerk or mouthy, you should expect a ticket for sure. That's my opinion anyway.

I am a Cop and I couldn't have put it better.
Different states, different Cops etc. prefer different ways....but you put it about the best I've seen.
