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

As I said there is an important piece of information missing in this story. And that is how did the first trooper know he had all that cash? That is what I haven't read about yet. And it doesn't matter either way. He did nothing wrong other than driving slowly (which probably just meant he was driving slower than the traffic around him), and that was probably the speed limit anyway, considering its normal to see upwards of 20mph over the posted limit!
Like I said there is one important piece of information missing!
In the documents I read it doesn't say how the officer knew he was carrying cash. He didn't conduct a search so his information was not enough to reach the level of probable cause, but something gave him that idea. In the next traffic stop they used a K9 that alerted on the motorhome and then they got a search warrant and found the cash.
As for why he was stopped to begin with, it was because he was driving too slow in the fast lane of the freeway and traffic was backing up behind him because of truck traffic in the slow lane. Anybody who drives a Class A motorhome knows that's a real good way to get pulled over.
