I've had my rights violated numerous times growing up, yet somehow I'm still alive to talk about it. Everything is about weighing risk vs. reward. When dealing with cops the risk of pissing off the cop far outweighs the reward of "exercising your rights".


Do you think any rights were violated here? I don't.

link to an leo forum on this very topic ... posts are several years old, but some of the comments are interesting ... no definitive answer on whether or not it's legal to refuse to roll down a window ... assume it falls under 'failure to comply' ... one guy said he just starts talking as softly as possible until the person rolls down the window ...

I can absolutely understand why an officer would want someone to roll down their window. Someone can pull a gun out, shoot out of the window and have the window used as some type of shield. It might not be much of a shield for a gunshot, but a cop has reason to question why someone might not want to put their window down all the way.. And like I said, to not comply to that request is just being a jackass who is causing yourself more problems than anything.

Not sure, I don't know what the rules are concerning cooperating with a police officer.

I was talking more in general.
