Me Refusing Police at DUI Checkpoint

Maybe I'm just a fraidy cat but I don't see the point of not rolling down the window. You don't have to answer their questions, no doubt, but not rolling down the window just makes it look like you're trying to hide alcohol on your breath.

The 4th amendment talks about persons being secure against UNREASONABLE searches and seizures. Courts have ruled DUI checkpoints are reasonable. You and I may disagree but we are a nation of laws and the courts have decided. Now, I have no problem at all with not answering questions. If I were questioned by cops about anything these days I'd not say anything but my name until I had a lawyer with me.
