lol I went through the same two checkpoints a couple weeks ago. The eastbound one is coming from big bend and is a few miles before Alpine, right? They stopped us at 2 or 3 AM, told us the dog was triggered, searched inside our giant black SUV for drugs with a dog, and then told me I passed Alpine already to gauge my reaction when I damn sure knew I didn't.
The one through to Las Cruces went smooth, too much traffic to search everyone. The guys there were chill and joking around.

yeah, near alpine, Pine Valley or something to be exact.
As soon as I went through that time, a CHP was hanging out RIGHT THERE and nabbed me for no front plate. I explained to him that my bumper was hanging on by a coat hanger and my front plate was obviously a victim of collision. He looked at me like a total dick and told me it could have been stolen before the accident and is now being used for crimes.
a big WTF to him.
