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.
He suspected it and it was true. So my guess is there is much more to the story than what is in this article.
