QuoteMarine veteran Stephen Lara lost his life savings in an instant while driving through the Great Basin Desert. He had done nothing wrong, but Nevada State Police stopped his rental car, grabbed his cash, and left him stranded on Interstate 80.

I wonder if this was the inspiration for the movie Rebel Ridge which follows the same basic plot with a lot of embellishment into a full-blown action film. And they move the setting to the South because, of course, that's where all the corrupt rural police are[1], with the corrupt urban police all being in DC, NY, SF and LA [2].
