I assume you meant "physically" ... as opposed to ... metaphorically?
Or would that be as in "figuratively" ... or "conceptually"
Hopefully one day there will be the technology to BEAM crooks to the jail cell.
Actually, since the vehicle was occupied by a passenger, who may or may not know the dark side of Scott and his "legal problems," it would be appropriate to discuss Scott's secrets or potentially embarrassing moments in his life outside the hearing and/or presence of someone who may or may not know about them.
Consequently, a discussion away from the passenger would be respectful to Scott.
In addition Slager, who is apparently by himself, will be able to interact with Scott away from the passenger with less a potential threat of having the passenger "join" in on the "meeting" taking place between Scott and Slager whether or not he was invited, which he would not be. See above comment.
It's called "officer safety"! Something probably foreign to you, though.
Of course, you do realize don't you, that the longer you play this little game of yours about dissecting this traffic stop over these past few DAYS it PROVES my point about "split second" decisions officers must make in citizen contacts, and it being inappropriate to EVALUATE their every move over days, weeks, and months of research, critical analysis, photo analysis, and forensics investigation.
I mean you can't even type your first question accurately after a day or two.
