What action is not permitted for officers during a traffic stop?

Requesting identification
Immediately revoking a driver’s license
Issuing warnings
Conducting field sobriety tests

The correct answer is: Immediately revoking a driver’s license

During a traffic stop, officers are restricted from immediately revoking a driver’s license because such a significant action requires proper legal procedures and justification. Revocation of a driver’s license is typically a process that involves specific legal grounds, notification, and possibly an appeal process for the driver. Officers can take necessary actions based on observations, but they must adhere to regulatory standards and protocols before imposing such an action. In contrast, requesting identification, issuing warnings, and conducting field sobriety tests are standard procedures that officers are expected to follow during a traffic stop. These actions are essential for ensuring road safety and enforcing traffic laws, allowing officers to assess the situation properly and make informed decisions based on the driver's behavior and adherence to regulations.
