I see. Okay, I didn't know that happened. I've only ran into one such checkpoint in my life and the policeman just asked me where I was coming from and where I was going, asked if I had anything to drink while pointing his flashlight into my car; I assume looking for an open can/bottle or anything suspicious. That last like 4 seconds, then I was on my way.

I'm going to guess you're white and probably look reasonably mainstream. Somebody more "suspicious"-looking will often end up with a less smooth experience.

This happened in San Jose, California near Club Wet(now closed), officer was white.

(Ironic I'm saying this, given some of my other past comments)
