While there isn't a specific Arkansas law saying you must roll the window down all the way, you are required to comply with lawful commands from an officer, and failing to do so, especially due to safety concerns (like not being able to see inside), can lead to charges like obstructing or resisting, so it's best to cooperate by rolling it down enough for communication and to show your hands to avoid escalating the situation and potential legal issues.

No, cops generally can't ask "why did I pull you over?" anymore, especially in states like California, as new laws require them to state the reason for the stop first, aiming to reduce pretextual stops and profiling; if asked, you can politely say "No, I don't know," and ask them to tell you the reason, as answering could be seen as an admission of guilt.
Police ask trick questions like "Do you know why I stopped you?" or "Can I search your car?" to get you to admit guilt or consent to searches, often using leading questions or seeming friendly to build rapport and gather evidence. Key tactics involve questioning your awareness of violations (speed, drinking) to get an admission and using double negatives ("Don't mind if I look, do you?") to confuse consent. The best approach is often to stay calm, politely decline to answer beyond basic identification, and clearly state you don't consent to searches.
