Given Mike's story it doesn't appear there would have been time for him to do much more. Also, car thieves often leave a shaved key or a key of any kind in the ignition of the car because removing and reinserting it can be a time consuming process. Especially if they have jammed any sort of key into a broken ignition, which is not always clearly visible. So, again, there are reasons LEO's do things that you're just not going to be aware of by dint of having never done the job. Also, again, the officer's intention in this instance was clearly not to jam someone up.
I now a good bit about what police do and this is total BS. I have seen tons of cases where officers have claimed they pulled someone over for something like a seat belt violation, but then try to get permission to search the car.
I guarantee that this police officer was looking for contraband when he entered the car to get the keys. Since he was not leaving the scene he knew there was no chance that someone would steal the car. That was a total BS excuse for entering the car.
