Profiling cars and stopping them just to see if anything illegal is in them is illegal. Courts have ruled on this.
A policeman can cruise by the guy looking into your window at 1am. I suppose he could write him a ticket for loitering. He could also haul the person in if he's obviously drunk. But that's about it. He can't search the guy just because he's standing on the public sidewalk at 1am.
