They don't ... that's why many departments require the officers to wear bullet resistant vests ALL the time. It's also why they touch the taillight or trunk of the vehicle, and call in the description and license plate before the stop.
The military can see through walls, so why not implement some of that technology into some goggles/glasses/eyepieces for law enforcement agencies?

Because the military is not bound by the Fourth and Fifth Amendments.
An interesting sidebar is that police can't use the same search methods on a house as they do on a car. Which creates a "grey area" when a motorhome is involved.
Then I guess all the police can do is P.A. to whoever they have pulled over to step out of the vehicle on the passenger side instead of walking up to the vehicle, but what if the driver is disabled? We need new, clear laws, procedure and tech to protect police. They can't shoot first and ask questions later.

THAT's something you never see on COPS-type shows. A handicapped person getting pulled over for DUI. Now I'm curious what they would do. Maybe they see the handicap sticker/plate and say "Nah, too much hassle".
