Stopped in motor home for going too slow on I-80
This just goes to show how things can escalate to a huge problem when you are just driving along minding your own business. Kinda hard to believe this goes on. Motor home stopped for going too slow

Taken from weekly newsletter RVtravel:
"We reported some weeks back that a court had ordered Elko County, Nev., to return $167,000 seized from an RVer traveling through the state. Straughn Gorman was stopped by police, his vehicle sniffed by a drug-detecting dog. No hits, and Gorman was turned loose. Police stopped him again a few minutes later, this time found his money and confiscated it. Since Gorman had committed no crime, the court ordered his money returned. Not the end of the story — the U.S. attorney in Reno has asked the court to reconsider the decision. The state also wants to skip out on paying Gorman's legal fees — $153,000 worth."
Sometimes I'm embarrassed to say I'm an American.
Don't forget this important detail in my original link:
"But his vehicle, computer, cellphone and the cash, stashed throughout the vehicle, were seized."
It did not say how long it took him to get his motor home back. Imagine if you are a full timer and they just took your home, your phone, and all of your money.
