Do You Have To Roll Your Car Windows Down For Police During A Traffic Stop? It’s Complicated

Millions of traffic stops are made throughout the United States each year and most don't turn into headlines, but when they do, it typically involves a person of color and a law officer accused of abusing their power. Another such controversial issue arose on September 8, 2004, when Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill was pulled over for speeding while on his way to Hard Rock Stadium to play against the Jacksonville Jaguars. The altercation was made public after Miami-Dade police officers pulled him out of his vehicle before forcing him down to the ground and handcuffing him.
