I remember seeing a video of a guy crossing state lines refusing to be stopped and searched (he had to declare plants or something in his car), and he gave the state worker so much shit.

The video ends when he’s eventually pulled over by state troopers who he argues with before he’s dragged out of the car in front of his two teenage children.

You are not legally obligated to consent to a search at a checkpoint within the US. You also don’t have to answer questions.

Kinda forgot about agricultural inspections. Those are a unique thing. Point stands for DUI and immigration checkpoints though.

I refer to those guys as the Peach Fuzz.
