Her story along with them running a toll was enough for them to be suspicious. They didn't know how accurate she was - and even if she was racist - doesn't mean the police were. The police will pretty much pull anyone over for running a toll - and I would HOPE that even if they were white guys - and there was an alert or something on them - they would have investigated them as well. Police only have the info that is given to them.
The woman's kid even knew they were playing a joke. And the police figured it out eventually.
I probably would have too if I was in their shoes. Closing the whole interstate down might have been a little bit of overkill, but at least they get some training (better than the times I have seen bomb technicians WITHOUT protective clothing get hurt on TV).
I doubt they expected her to call the police and I am sure they were scared when it happened.
I wouldn't let the police search my car either - and people should feel free to refuse.
And at least the one kid has a possible good excuse for late homework - they blew up one of his book bags.
