Let’s say a police officer stop a vehicle and radios for a 10-29 check wants/warrants and the dispatch comes back with the vehicle wanted in connection w/crime or the subject is wanted for a felony. So he radios for backup and later two police units arrive. He requests for the driver and the passengers to come out… with their service weapons draw of course. The problem is that nobody comes out of the vehicle at all. What would happen? Would the officers shoot at the vehicle when they don’t know exactly who is in there?

They will use all other means of removing the persons from the auto, using pepper spray, tasers, or billy clubs, and forcibly removing the individuals. If a gun is drawn in the melee, then the officers would then use deadly force to subdue the apprehended suspects.

Well, I'm not a cop, i only work in the Records dept at my local pd but if the vehicle is entered into the system as a Felony vehicle, the cops have every reason to believe that the subjects in the car are the ones who committed the crime. Obviously, it'd be a good idea to ensure that those in the vehicle are in fact, the ones they're looking for but I suppose it would depend on an individual agency's policy regarding felony vehicle stops. That's if the vehicle itself is entered into the system as a Felony Vehicle. If only the person inside the vehicle is wanted for a felony and the vehicle itself wasn't used in the commission of the crime, (in California, at least) that vehicle CANNOT be entered into the Stolen Vehicle System (which is not just for stolen vehicles, in case you didn't know that) per California DOJ. In which case, you would discover the felony want after running them through dispatch or records. I don't know if it's procedure but if you're getting the 29 on them, you probably already have out of the vehicle, on the curb or something and have their ids.
Aside from all that..... if you're in a Felony Vehicle, I believe the officers have every right to assume you are armed and dangerous and must act accordingly to ensure their safety and the safety of others.

It depends on the department's policy on felony t-stops and also the primary officers' decision. When TPD trains, they send in the dog and then make their approach to search the vehicle and trunk. You can't just start shooting at things, especially a car. Bullets ricochet everywhere and the chance of an innocent passerby or an officer getting shot is very high.

All agencies have policies on deadly force. The police would only shoot to protect themselves or others. Force would be used to remove the occupants of the vehicle. Every situation has it's own circumstances that have to be taken in consideration. The amount of force that is necessary would be used to control the situation.

Someone just made a bad choice!! When ignoring a verbal order given by a law enforcement officer you run the risk of injury. If the person(s), are not deaf they probably will be after the cops get them out!.

Police can't shoot unless the other person is putting their life or another's in direct danger.

They wouldn't shoot initially, but only if they were provoked. It's a police rule. Hopefully, you aren't planning on breaking any law.

One of the nastiest places to be is in a car when the police fire a pepper spray bomb into it. . ., you will come out of the car.
