Good background info on the window roll down thing. I had that same problem, faced arrest, at my last dui checkpoint. Now it seems they are ordering officers not only to demand it, but also to arrest for it. Woah! So, decline first, then comply and fight any charges from there. and all the way down too! I'd like to try 1/4....then 1/2...then 3/4...see at what point they stop threatening arrest (and bodily harm with weapons drawn) heh. I raised the question on their 'lawful order' provision of the statute, and there still seems to be no black and white of what they can or can't ask for. I can claim that rolling down my window is unlawful can't i? as it may cause me to incriminate myself...which i am protected from?
How do we get this 'lawful order' crap wording changed to something specific. The metro officers at my DUI checkpoint told me they had backing from a supreme court ruling...I'm guessing the one that declared dui checkpoints not unlawful...as a minor violation for the good of all thing. Forget the case......
