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

When was driving slow a reason to pull someone over?
Is there a posted minimum speed on Interstate 80 in Nevada?
I have not driven there in many years so, I don't know.
Driving too slow is usually considered under the "unsafe driving" type laws. There is no set speed at which it is considered "unsafe" - that depends on road conditions, congestion, traffic conditions, etc. (and the officer's opinion).
As for this situation, I wonder how the officer suspected "he was hiding cash" - that to me would be the bigger issue - as how would you ever look at someone and/or their vehicle and think "oh yeah, he's hiding cash in there". Sounds like someone made that suspicion based on the appearance of the driver.
