Regarding #8, I actually got the opposite advice from a retired cop: you wait until they ask for your license / registration before moving your hand to the glove box. If they see you reaching for anything before that, it'll make them nervous.

Of course I'm white, so it might very well be a different set of rules (and the cop in question hasn't been on the force for over 30 years).

Yeah, #8 is bad advice. If that's the concern, keep your paperwork somewhere visible like on the seat while you're driving so you don't have to reach into anything period. Reaching into a glove box while the cop is approaching is only going to end poorly.
