Don't worry: I'm sure his finger will just jump out of index right before he shoots himself in the foot, DEA-style.
Every modern cop car I know of requires the application of the brakes before the transmission will shift outta park... If we made 'em drive stick we wouldn't have this problem.
Well, if you sorta stick it into 'park', but not all the way, then it's actually in 'reverse'... While the language was colorful, it was also understandable.
