It's different in a lot of ways.
Assuming this is in fact a DUI checkpoint, they're stopping everyone. They stopped Hill for cause. idk if the 120mph thing is accurate (I doubt it) but he was clearly speeding, and the police will naturally and rightfully engage with someone breaking the law differently than they would any random person in an indiscriminate number of presumably law abiding citizens.
Also, this guy's windows aren't tinted and the cops can see his hands. Not against the law for your windows to be tinted (to an extent, and I have no idea about the level of tint on Hill's McLaren but we'll assume it was legal), but if your windows are heavily tinted the cops will obviously react differently for their own safety. I haven't looked into whether them ordering him to roll down his window was a lawful order or not, but we need to look at this from a legal standpoint but also from a pragmatic one.
Also, this guy is calm and communicating clearly. Not being friendly but not being combative either. Tyreek mostly just kept saying or shouting "Don't knock on my window like that" and "Don't tell me what to do". Again, not illegal, but to protect ourselves we all need to be pragmatic about cause and effect of our actions even if it's unjust and wrong.
Now, all that being said, this is also horrendous police work. Absolutely terrible job and these officers are an embarrassment.
