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

The judge ALSO did not like the fact that the dog alerted in ONE place, after walking around the entire coach, and that the owner consented to let the officers inspect that compartment BUT the officers were intent on getting inside and they ignored him and searched inside the coach.
In addition, the facts stated by the officer to get the warrant, failed to mention the first stop, or give any independent information that warranted the second stop.
Had the officers followed the proper LEGAL procedures there would have been NO second stop and the money never would have been seized. It was only through illegal deception by the officers that the money was ever seized to begin with.
If officers are allowed to break the law to arrest people or seize money that they think is derived from criminal activity, then that makes them no better than the other criminals.
In fact Nevada has passed a new bill, effective Oct 1, that prevents this type of activity on Nevada highways, because of all of the complaints/lawsuits.
