I mean interactions where police are stopping someone they think may have committed a crime. Whether that's a traffic stop or theft they proceed with an abundance of caution because the perpetrator could very well be armed. This isn't an issue in other countries. In the UK it's unlikely the criminal will be carrying a gun so police in general don't even need guns.
