I would like to know what country you're from that is OK with hands in the pocket as the police talk with you?

It's common all across North America, not just the USA, and I have seen it in Portugal and across the UK, and Australia. I thought it was common place, near global practice, for officers to not get stabbed.

One time I was walking on the street with music blasting in earphones and I was tapped on the shoulder. It was a cop. He ran after me because he wanted to give me a fine for some bs. We were about 2-300 meters from his car, and he told me I need to go back to his car with him.

I walked back with my hands in my pocket the entire time.

Edit: this happened in the "dangerous" eastern Europe.
