A random checkpoint does not constitute probable cause, No laws were broken therefore they you have no responsibility to give LEO any information if you so choose. Its called the constitution read up on it, and exercise your rights.. Because you know what they say "if you don't use them, you'll lose them."

And all they CAN check (Last I checked) was that you have a DL, once you show that DL, you don't have to do or say or show anything.

Now, I always obey because I don't want to be harassed for my tint, or my whatever as stated above... And that gives the officer "probable cause" or now they have a reason to pull you over and give you a ticket

When I was last stopped at a random checkpoint I rolled my windows down completely due to my tint being 5%. The last thing I wanted was a fixit ticket or something similar. When the officer came back with my License I had rolled my window up halfway. His reply as he walked up to the car was, "Sir, please roll down that window because I cannot see you and I don't want to have to write you a ticket."

Now my windows always stay down.

Props to you for flexin your rights though OP

The police is this case acted professionally, but its not always the case and even though you may be well with in your rights to refuse them.

It all depends on where and how the police will treat and act in a particular situation.

Far to often you hear and read about a simple traffic stop or check point stop, turning into something really bad, for all parties involved.

The best thing to do is know your rights and not do or say anything to incriminate yourself, any simply comply with the police requests.

Its far better to just say yes Sir, no Sir and be on your way, then spend the night in jail or dealing with a DUI tests and your car towed at your expense.
