This stop occurred in NC and we don’t have all the facts about the stop...but NC is 1 of 6 states to have laws on driving to slowly. While it is true most states might have a minimum sign posted and 65 in a 70 would be unusual, some of the statutes are unfortunately subjective...for example I think in NC they prohibit “driving to slowly in the passing lane on a highway” so potentially an officer might pull someone over for going the Actual speed limit in the passing lane (presuming they weren’t passing).

Anyway I think you might be missing the point where the poster stated:

>”under is suspicious according to your thinking...”

I never said driving under the speed limit is suspicious, and I specifically said I think this stop was ridiculous...still I don’t think we can say he was stopped for being black (it’s possible) but more likely due to being a rental car driving under the speed limit.

Not sure why facts are downvoted, I am not even for the law, just stating it exists...
