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

You are right, which is what happened when it went to court. Both sides gave their story and the court ORDERED the money returned to the rightful owner. Now the state does not want to abide by the court order nor do they want to pay the court costs. So yes there are two sides and the court determined who was right. :R
What I found interesting is, a Nevada State Trooper made the initial traffic stop.
A County Sheriff made the second stop.
The Federal Government seized the cash, were ordered to return it and, filed an appeal with no explanation.
It just sounds like we need to hear "the rest of the story." Something seems to be missing.
Please post again if you see another article on this, it's interesting.
In large seizures like this it is very common for the Feds to handle the seizure. Federal courts have a better system for doing this, and bringing to the Federal system also allows the US Attorney's office to access things such as IRS records, Bank records, and other such financial records in order to prove if the cash is legitimate gains or not. Somebody who has $167k in cash in their motorhome should have no problem showing that it is all legitimate cash, assuming it is.
