Both are very valid reasons, and the 2nd is totally understandable. Every time I was pulled over in that car I rolled the window down as soon as I was stopped. Not that it helped much, but at least he could feel a bit safer about walking up to the car. It's just frustrating that I had it for 5 years, and I only had a few weeks left before I sold it! lol.
