If an officer or immigration agent asks to look inside your car, you can refuse to consent to the search. But if police believe your car contains evidence of a crime, your car can be searched without your consent. Both drivers and passengers have the right to remain silent.
This was a checkpoint, they had no probable cause to search his car or detain him. What you wrote above does not apply. Hence why he went on his way without charges despite being found with an illegal substance.

well, The threshold for "reasonable suspicion," on the other hand, is not as stringent as that which is required to establish probable cause. It is more than simply a "hunch" but does not necessarily involve indisputable evidence of a crime. For example, a motorist who is swerving from lane to lane may be drunk or just a bad driver, but this gives an officer reasonable suspicion to investigate further.
If you are still wondering, "When can the police search search your car?" or for help with unlawful search and seizure defense, contact a criminal defense attorney.

I know when the police can search me or my property, and contrary to what you believe a "nasty attitude" never constitutes probable cause nor reasonable suspicion.
You did change your words since at first you said he should have answered. Then you agreed he was not required to.

The officer did not do anything wrong. The officer asked him politely, "How are you? Where are you going today?" He answered angrily, "I don't have to answer that question."

Those Drug dogs will Alert whenever its handler tell it to, it is a scam that should NEVER be allowed in court as evidence of probable cause to search a vehicle..
