A few people say that here in America you can't be stopped and asked for driving papers without proboble cause. Yet it happens commonly at checkpoints.

Personally, I object to checkpoints, but SCOTUS has decided they’re ok. There was a previous decision that they were not ok … if I remember correctly.
Unless mistaken, the current opinion hinges on utility and the use of the road granted as a privilege granted by the state, rather than an immunity guaranteed by the Constitution.
I'm sure someone will correct me presently ...
