In the incident, Perry was stopped by Deputy Snell of the Sampson County Sheriff's Office while driving on Highway 403 in North Carolina. Perry was driving 65 miles per hour, which is 5 miles below the speed limit. Deputy Snell asked Perry about his work, where he was coming from, and where he was going. Perry questioned the relevance of these inquiries and asked for the reason for the stop.
Deputy Snell issued a formal warning for Perry's speeding, stating that it was for "traveling under the speed limit". Perry argued that driving under the speed limit is not unlawful and that it can sometimes be required by law. He also pointed out that driving below the speed limit can contribute to the acquisition of reasonable suspicion and result in a detainment.
Perry filed a formal complaint against Deputy Snell following the encounter. The Sampson County Sheriff's Office responded that an officer only needs reasonable suspicion to stop a vehicle, not probable cause. They also stated that they were reviewing the incident and intended to take the appropriate action if necessary.
The episode concludes with the hosts commending Perry for challenging Deputy Snell's logic and having the courage to follow up the interaction with a formal complaint. They encourage viewers to like and subscribe to their channel for more police interaction content.
