ORDER
LARRY R. HICKS, District Judge.This is a civil forfeiture action arising from two successive traffic stops that occurred on a. stretch of Interstate 80 (“I-80”) between Wells, Nevada, and Elko, Nevada.- On February 18, 2014, Plaintiff the United States of America, (“United States”) filed a Motion for Summary Judgment (Doc. # 11), which the Court denied on July 23, 2014 (Doc.. # 28). Before the Court is Claimant Straughn Gorman’s (“Gorman”) Motion to Suppress. Doc. # 18.1 The United States filed ’a Response (Doc. # 24), to which Gorman replied (Doc. # 27). The Court held an evidentiary hearing oii December 15 and 16, 2014, during which the Court viewed the video of both traffic stops and heard deposition testimony from'the officer 'who effectuated the first stop, and live testimony from the officer who effectuated the second stop. After the hearing, Gorman submitted supplemental briefing. Doc. # 61. The United States filed a Supplemental Opposition (Doc. # 62), to which Gorman replied (Doc. #63). '
On February 24, 2015, the Court stayed consideration of Gorman’s Motion to Suppress pending the Supreme Court’s decision in Rodriguez v. United States, recognizing that Rodriguez could impact the law underlying this case. Doc. # 64. The Supreme Court decided Rodriguez on April 21, 2015. The parties filed responsive memoranda on May 5 and 6, 2015 (Doc. ##66, 68), and replies on May 21, 2015 (Doc. ## 70, 71). After considering all briefing, the arguments and evidence presented at the December 15 and 16, 2014, evidentiary hearing, and all relevant statutes and case law, the Court grants Gorman’s Motion to Suppress.
*1112I. Facts and Procedural History
On January 23, 2013, at approximately 9:03 a.m., Nevada State Trooper Greg Monroe (“Monroe”) observed Gorman driving in the left westbound lane along I-80 just outside of Wells, Nevada. Monroe Depo. at 46:18-21, 47:21-24. Monroe told Gorman that he stopped Gorman for- a “left-lane violation” because he was driving slowly in the left lane and traffic had backed up behind his motor home. Id. at 46:3-9. Gorman responded that he was driving in the left lane to avoid being stuck behind slow moving trucks in the right lane, and that he planned to move back to the right lane as soon as possible. Id. at 59:7-13. Upon request, Gorman produced his license and registration and told Monroe that he was traveling to Sacramento, California to visit “his chick.” Id. at 60:9-61:5. Gorman told Monroe that his girlfriend lived in downtown Sacramento, but was not able to produce her exact address, noting that it was entered into his GPS system. Id. at 84:2-22. Gorman’s use of the word “chick” aroused Monroe’s suspicion that Gorman’s answers were rehearsed because Monroe thought that “chick” was an unusual word for a person Gorman’s age — thirty-one at the time of the stop — to use. Id. at 62:4-8; 63:12-17. Monroe’s suspicions grew “extremely high” when Gorman stated that he was moving to California because this was inconsistent with Gorman’s earlier statement that he was visiting his girlfriend in Sacramento. Id. at 62:12-21. . Additionally, Gorman told Monroe that he worked for a Maui beach activities and paddle board company, which Monroe also thought sounded rehearsed. Id. at 89:1-11.
After questioning Gorman, Monroe returned to his vehicle and requested a canine unit at approximately 9:07 a.m. Id. at 90:18-20. Monroe then called in for a driver’s license warrant check and a criminal history check. Id. at 91:13-20. At 9:08:30 a.m., dispatch informed Monroe that there were no available canine units in Wells, to which Monroe replied “oh great” in an exasperated tone. Id. at 95:19-21. At approximately 9:09 a.m., Monroe told dispatch “without a dog I’m not even going to get in to this one.” At approximately 9:10 a.m., dispatch informed Monroe that Gorman’s driver’s license was valid, Id. at 100:17-20. At approximately 9:10:30 a.m., Monroe asked someone who is inaudible on the recording “how far out are you guys?” and then stated that he was going to try to get consent to search the vehicle but that he was “pretty sure” Gorman would refuse. Monroe then said that he was between the 346 and 347 mile-markers, and “if you guys don’t mind start heading this way, ... I’m going to call [El Paso Intelligence Center (“EPIC”) ] on this one and if the guy shuts me down, well then he shuts me down.”' At approximately 9:12 a.m., Monroe called in a check with EPIC. Id. at 104:25-105:5. This call included a check of any law enforcement activities involving drugs at Gorman’s residence. Id. at 107:15-22. At 9:22:30 a.m., Monroe told the EPIC operator that he did not have a canine unit available, but that he was going to try to get consent to search Gorman’s vehicle. Id. at 117:11-15. At 9:22:45 a.m., EPIC responded that they had a “DEA hit” on Gorman ’ involving a transfer of $10,000 out of the country, but all other checks were negative. Id. at 118:3-9.
At approximately 9:23 a.m., Monroe exited his vehicle and told Gorman that he was not going to write a ticket. At 9:23:35 a.m., Monroe then handed Gorman his identification and told him that he was free to leave. Id. at 126:16-24. Immediately afterward, Monroe asked Gorman if he could ask some additional questions. Id. at 128:12-17. Monroe first asked how Gorman could afford to drive a motor home cross-country when gas prices were over $3.00 per gallon. Monroe then asked if Gorman still sold paddle boards for a *1113living, and asked about his compensation, to which Gorman responded “I don’t want to talk about how much I make.” At approximately 9:25 a.m., Monroe asked if there was anything illegal in Gorman’s motor home, or if he. was carrying large amounts of U.S. currency. Id. at 129:17-130:3. Gorman then told Monroe that he was only carrying about $2000 in U.S. currency in the motor home. At 9:25:45 a.m., Monroe asked Gorman “do you mind if we search the vehicle?,” to which Gor-man said “I do mind, yes.” Id. at 131:19-23. At this point, .Monroe told Gorman that he was free to leave, returned to his vehicle, and said “he’s carrying money” aloud to himself.
Monroe then contacted Nevada Highway Patrol (“NHP”) dispatch and informed the operator that there was a vehicle headed westbound on 1-80 from Wells, Nevada that he strongly suspected was carrying large amounts of currency. Id. at 135:7-13. Monroe informed the operator that the only way to get probable cause to search Gorman’s motor home would be to use a canine unit. Id. at 136:3-9. NHP dispatch then informed Elko County Sheriffs Office (“ECSO”) Deputy Doug Fisher (“Fisher”) that Monroe had stopped a vehicle near the 360 mile marker on 1-80 near Wells, Nevada, and that Fisher might be interested in stopping the vehicle. Fisher Depo. at 32:411. Fisher was told that Gorman did not consent to the search during the first stop, and that a canine unit “might want to follow up on the information.” Id. at 43:18-20; 35:12-16. Fisher understood this to mean that he may want to walk his canine around Gorman’s vehicle. Id. at 36:10-19.
Monroe also called Fisher directly to relay his suspicions about Gorman and that Gorman was driving westbound on I-80 from Wells, Nevada., Monroe added that Gorman was traveling from Delaware to.Sacramento to visit his girlfriend, that he had $5000 in the motor home, and that Gorman acted abrasive during the initial stop. Id. at 40:1-5. Monroe also.told Fisher, Gorman’s name and license plate number, but did not tell Fisher which records checks he had conducted. Id. at 41:7-42:20. Monroe told Fisher that he was denied consent for' a search and that he let Gorman leave because he had no probable cause for a search and no canine units were available. Id. at 43:4-11. After this’ call, Fisher left the ECSO and “started patrolling the highway.” Id. at 45:6-9. Fisher was on a roving patrol initially, but became stationary between the 302 and 303 mile markers on I-80, facing eastbound near Elko approximately five miles from ECSO.2 Id. at 45:10-23.
NHP dispatched Fisher to follow up on Monroe’s information at approximately 9:27 a.m. Doc. # 23, Ex. J at 4; Doc. # 27-1, Request for Admission No. 18. NHP further notified Fisher that Monroe released Gorman’s vehicle, a white motor home, after he was denied consent to search. Id. At approximately 10:15 a.m., Fisher observed Gorman’s motor home traveling westbound with the driver’s side window obstructed by a window curtain that, had been pulled forward. Doc. # 12 (“Fisher Decl.”) ¶ 3. Fisher followed the motor home and observed it drift to the right onto the fog line three times and remain on the fog line each time for approximately 400 yards.3 Id. Fisher also *1114observed that the rear window of- the motor home was obstructed by blinds or curtains that were partially closed. Id. Based on these observations, Fisher activated the overhead lights'on his-patrol car in an effort to initiate a stop of the motor home. Id. at ¶ 4. Fisher ’remained behind the motor home with his overhead lights activated for approximately one mile with no apparent effect on Gorman. Id. Thereafter, Fisher moved to the land left of the motor home for an additional mile, keeping the overhead lights activated, with no apparent effect on Gorman. Id. He then activated his siren in two short bursts, again with no apparent effect on Gorman. Id. After moving his patrol ear forward to the driver’s side window and again activating his siren for two short bursts, Gorman stopped the motor, home on the side of the road. Id.
Fisher approached the right side of the motor home and Gorman exited the vehicle with his insurance, registration, and identification ready, wearing a hat, gloves, and jacket. Id. at ¶ 5. Fisher told Gorman the reason for the stop and further advised Gorman of the safety issue caused by the obstructed side window. Id. at ¶ 6. Gor-man- responded that he had been pulled over about forty minutes earlier and- had been stopped for twenty minutes. Id. Fisher replied “I don’t know if you got stopped,4 because I get told that quite often ... as a distraction.” Gorman stated that he was traveling to Sacramento to visit his girlfriend, and then stated his intention to move to California. Id. Gor-man also said that he worked with a paddle board company that' involved other beach activities in Maui. Id.
Fisher returned to his patrol car, at which point the evidentiary record is. contested. Specifically, the parties dispute the point at which Fisher requested a records check of Goman. Fisher states that he paged dispatch approximately four minutes into the stop, but that dispatch did not respond to his page. U.S. Ex. 7 ¶ 11(f). The video of the incident does not clearly indicate whether Fisher paged dispatch. Approximately five minutes into the stop, Deputy Prall ’(“Prall”) arrived at the scene and Fisher asked him to “stick around.” Id. The dispatch Call for Service Report indicates that Prall' requested a records check approximately six minutes into the stop, but does not indicate that Fisher paged or otherwise requested a records check. Id., Ex. 4 at 1. The dispatch report also indicates that Prall requested an EPIC check approximately seven minutes into the stop. Id. The EPIC check indicated that Goman had four border crossings, most recently between the -United States and Spain. Id. Meanwhile, Fisher filled out a consent to search form for the motor home, which he never presented to Gorman because based on-their interactions, Fisher believed that an attempt to get consent would be futile.
When Fisher’ re-approached the vehicle, he told Gorman “they’re rolling some medical information at dispatch right now so I’m just going to ask you a couple questions if you don’t mind.” Gorman replied “I do mind. I’ve been asked a lot of other questions at the other place.” Fisher then asked “what did he ask you?” Goman replied “he asked me a bunch. Am' I getting a ticket? Am I detained?” Fisher responded “right now you are being detained because I haven’t even ran you *1115through dispatch.” Fisher then asked “so you don’t want to answer my questions then?” Gorman replied “No I, don’t because I was just held for seriously twenty to thirty minutes. I answered a bunch of questions and he finally let me go.... I’m done talking,”
Fisher asked Gorman if he had an objection to Fisher conducting a canine sniff around the motor home. Gorman responded “I have opposition, if that means anything.” . Fisher then conducted a weapr ons pat-down of Gorman and asked him to stand twenty to thirty feet in front of the motor home. Next, approximately twelve minutes in to the traffic stop, Fisher released his drug-detection canine “Euros” from his vehicle. Fishér and Euros then approached the motor home and began walking around it in ,‘the clockwise direction, starting at the rear left-hand side of the vehicle. As Fisher and Euros circled thé rear of the motor home, Euros sat down near the vehicle’s back right compartment, facing the 'compartment. Fisher described this as a “committed sit and stare,” which he considered to be a positive alert. Fisher then gave Euros his ball (apparently, the dog’s reward) and returned him to the vehicle.
Fisher returned to the motor home and told Gorman “Dispatch still hasn’t come back with your information. He just was able to get it through.... Once the information Comes back from dispatch you will be free to leave, but your vehicle is staying here until we figure out if we are going to do a-telephonic search warrant.” Gorman expressed disbelief that the dog. positively alerted for drugs, and asked “did you make him alert?” Fisher responded “No. I did not make him alert.” Gorman then referred to the back rear compartment and said “I can open that if you want to look in it. It’s charcoal and stuff like that, do you want to look in. it?” Fisher replied “do you want to talk to me.now?” Gorman replied “if he alerted somewhere, look in it because there’s no drugs.” Fisher then noted that odor could pome out anywhere on the ■ vehicle, and that-the rear back compartment was on the “down wind side of the vehicle.” Fisher then returned to his vehicle, at which point the video of this stop ends.
Based on the aforementioned- circumstances, Fisher applied telephonieally for a search warrant from the Justice Court of Elko Township, Elko County, Nevada. Id. at ¶ 10. Fisher did hot state in his telephonic warrant' application’ that he had first been dispatched to invéstigate Gor-man áfter Monroe alerted him that Gor-man was heading westbound on I-80 from Wells.5 An Elko County' Justice of the Peace issued a warrant to search the motor home at approximately 11:15 a.m. Id. The officers, conducted a search of the motor home with the assistance of Euros Id. at ¶ 11. During the ’ search, Euros positively alerted to Gorman’s backpack, clothes, and blankets, and the overhead storage cabinets above the master bed. Id. The search of the interior of the motor home yielded discovery of currency throughout the motor home, including in the freezer, microwave, and bedroom compartment. Id. at ¶ 12. The search also yielded discovery of fifteen “pay/owe” sheets, a Google Maps printout showing driving. directions from Milton, Delaware to Garberville, California, a prescription inhaler containing Proventil with a. prescription label designating “Ryan Cava-lear” as the patient, two large empty canvas duffle-type bags, and a large hard-*1116sided “Pelican” case. Id. at ¶¶ 13-16. No drugs were found.
On June 17, 2013, the United States filed a Complaint in Forfeiture In Rem. Doc. # 1. On February 18, 2014, the United States filed a Motion for Summary Judgment. Doc. #11. Thereafter, Gor-man filed the present Motion to Suppress. Doc. # 18. On July 27, 2014, the Court denied the United States’ Motion for Summary Judgment, deferred judgment on Gorman’s Motion to Suppress, and set an evidentiary hearing. Doc. #28. The Court held an evidentiary hearing on December 15 and 16, 2014, during which the Court heard deposition testimony of- Monroe, live testimony of Fisher, and reviewed the video of each traffic stop. Following the Supreme Court’s ruling in Rodriguez, both parties submitted memoranda on Rodriguez’s application to this case, and both parties thereafter submitted replies.
IÍ. Legal Standard
Rule G(8)(a) of the Supplemental Rules for Admiralty or "Maritime Claims and Asset Forfeiture Actions provides that “[i]f the defendant property was seized, a party with standing to contest the lawfulness of the seizure may move to suppress use of the property as evidence.” A motion to suppress brought by a claimant in a civil forfeiture proceeding is akin to one brought by a defendant in a criminal case. See One 1958 Plymouth Sedan v. Pa., 380 U.S. 693, 696-702, 85 S.Ct. 1246, 14 L.Ed.2d 170 (1965) (holding that the Fourth Amendment is applicable to forfeiture proceedings); see also Civil Asset Forfeiture Reform Act of 2000, 18 U.S.C. § 981(b)(2)(B) (requiring that seizures be made pursuant to a warrant or based upon probable cause and pursuant to a lawful arrest or search). As such, the exclusionary rule applies in civil forfeiture cases. One 1958 Plymouth Sedan, 380 U.S. at 702, 85 S.Ct. 1246; United States, v. $493,850.00 in U.S. Currency, 518 F.3d 1159, 1164 (9th Cir.2008). The rule “bars the admission of evidence obtained in violation of the U.S.- Constitution, as well as ‘fruits of the poisonous tree.’ ” $493,850.00 in U.S. Currency, 518 F.3d at 1164 (quoting United States v. Ramirez-Sandoval, 872 F.2d 1392, 1395 (9th Cir.1989)). “[U]nder the ‘fruits-of the poisonous tree’ doctrine, evidence obtained subsequent to a violation of the Fourth Amendment is tainted by the illegality and is inadmissible.” Id. at 1164-65 (quoting United States v. Washington, 490 F.3d 765, 774 (9th Cir.2007)).
It is well settled that a traffic stop is a seizure within the meaning of the Fourth Amendment. See Delaware v. Prouse, 440 U.S. 648, 653, 99 S.Ct. 1391, 59 L.Ed.2d 660 (1979); Whren v. United States, 517 U.S. 806, 809-10, 116 S.Ct. 1769, 135 L.Ed.2d 89 (1996). In the context of an investigatory traffic stop, an officer need only have reasonable suspicion to justify the seizure. See United States v. Lopez-Soto, 205 F.3d 1101, 1104-05 (9th Cir.2000) (concluding that Whren did not alter the well settled law that reasonable suspicion is enough to support an investigatory traffic stop under the Fourth Amendment); Brendlin v. California, 551 U.S. 249, 263, 127 S.Ct. 2400, 168 L.Ed.2d 132 (2007) (concluding that a' seizure began at the moment, the car came to a halt on the side of the road). Reasonable suspicion requires “specific, articulable facts which, together with objective and reasonable inferences, "form the basis for suspecting that the particular person detained- is engaged in [a traffic violation].” United States v. Michael R., 90 F.3d 340, 346 (9th Cir.1996) (quoting United States v. Garcia-Camacho, 53 F.3d 244, 246 (9th Cir.1995)). Reasonable suspicion “can rest on a mistaken understanding, of the scope of a legal prohibition.” Heien v. North Car*1117olina, - U.S. -, 135 S.Ct. 530, 536, 190 L.Ed.2d 475 (2014)
While an officer “may conduct certain unrelated checks during an otherwise lawful traffic stop .,. he may not do so in a way that prolongs the stop, absent the reasonable suspicion ordinarily demanded to justify detaining an individual.” Rodriguez v. United States, - U.S. -, 135 S.Ct. 1609, 1615, 191 L.Ed.2d 492 (2015). An officer’s prolongation of a traffic stop to conduct a dog sniff “violate[s] the Fourth Amendment unless the officer had independent reasonable suspicion to support the prolongations.” United States v. Evans, 786 F.3d 779, 781 (9th Cir.2015). “Like a Terry stop, the tolerable duration of police inquiries in the traffic-stop context is determined by the seizure’s ‘mission’ — to address the traffic violation that warranted the stop, and attend to related safety concerns.” Rodriguez, 135 S.Ct. at 1614. “In assessing whether a detention is too long in duration to be justified as an investigative stop,” it is proper “to examine whether the police diligently pursued a means of investigation that was likely to confirm or: dispel their suspicions quickly.” United States v. Sharpe, 470 U.S. 675, 686, 105 S.Ct. 1568, 84 L.Ed.2d 605 (1985). Ultimately, the analysis remains one of reasonableness, and thus the court must examine the “totality of the circumstances” surrounding the stop to determine whether the length is reasonable. See United States v. Turvin, 517 F.3d 1097, 1101 (9th Cir.2008).
IIL Discussion
A. Reasonable Suspicion for the Traffic Stops
The Supreme Court held' recently that reasonable suspicion “can rest on a mistaken understanding of the scope of a legal prohibition.” Heien, 135 S.Ct. at 536. The Court noted that “[t]o be reasonable is not to be perfect, and so the Fourth Amendment allows for some mistakes on the part of government officials.” Id. In order to be valid under the Fourth Amendment, an officer’s reasonable mistake of law must be '“objectively reasonable,” and courts should not “examine the subjective understanding of the particular officer involved.” Id. at 539 (emphasis in original).
Monroe stated in his deposition that he decided to pull Gorman over for a “left-lane violation,” which he defined as a “slow-moving vehicle in the left lane” with traffic backing up behind it. Monroe Depo. at 46:3-9. Monroe was unable to identify the specific statute, but stated that “[w]hen you have traffic in the left lane that is impeding the flow of traffic, that’s where it becomes a violation,” Id. at 49:2-9. Nev.Rev.Stat. (“NRS”) 484B.627 provides that if a driver “drives a motor vehicle, at a speed so slow as to impede the forward movement of traffic proceeding immediately behind the driver,” he or she •must “drive to the extreme right side of .the highway.” Fisher articulated two separate observed traffic violations to justify his investigatory traffic stop: (1) he “noticed the vehicle drift to the right and drive on the white fog line,” and (2) he “further noticed the driver had the curtain pulled forward on the driver’s side window which obstructs the driver’s view of the vehicle’s left blind area[,]” both in violation of Nevada law.6 Doc. # 18, Ex. A, 4:12-17.
As discussed below, the Court believes that the two traffic stops are inextricably connected and that Gorman’s total detention was unreasonably prolonged. Howev*1118er, the Court finds under Heim that both stops were supported by reasonable suspicion based on the officers’ belief that they observed traffic violations. These determinations were not objectively unreasonable.7
B. Prolonged Detention
Gorman also challenges the legality of his “prolonged detention,” which he claims exceeded the scope and duration of the purported justification for the initial investigatory traffic stop. Assuming that the investigative stops were justified at their inceptions, the duration of the stops must be assessed for reasonableness. Gorman asserts that there was no continuing justification for the delay in conducting the canine'sniff because Fisher had already completed his investigation regarding the suspected traffic violation, and Monroe had already conducted a records check. The United States cohtends that the canine sniff did not delay the investigative traffic stop any longer than was necessary because the records check was still in progress at the time of the canine sniff.8 Doc. #25; 28:17-19. Fisher testified that the records check was still in progress at the time he performed an exterior canine'sniff of the motor home. Fisher Decl. ¶ 7; Doc. # 23 (“Second Fisher Decl.”), 4:20-22.
In Rodriguez v. United States, the Supreme Court considered an officer’s prolongation of a traffic stop in order to conduct a canine sniff. Rodriguez, 135 S.Ct. at 1612. The traffic stop in Rodriguez occurred after officer Struble observed a vehicle veer, onto the shoulder of Nebraska State Highway 275 and then jerk back onto the road. Id. Struble is a K-9 officer, and his canine “Floyd” was on patrol with him that, night. Id. Struble effectuated a traffic stop and asked, the driver, Rodriguez (“Rodriguez”), why he was driving erratically, to which Rodriguez replied that he had swerved to avoid a pothole. Id. at 1613. Struble ran a records check on Rodriguez, and a second records .check on .Rodriguez’s passenger. Id. Struble then called for a second officer to join him at the scene and began writing Rodriguez a warning ticket for driving on the shoulder of the road. Id.. After issuing the warning, Struble asked for permission to walk his canine around Rodriguez’s vehicle. Id. Rodriguez did not consent. Id. Struble then instructed Rodriguez to exit the vehicle and stand, in front of the patrol car to wait for the second- officer, who was in route. Id. When the officer arrived, twenty-seven minutes after Struble first effectuated the stop, Struble walked Floyd twice around Rodriguez’s vehiclé. Id. Floyd alerted to the presence of contraband halfway through-the second pass around the vehicle. Id. A subsequent search revealed a large bag of methamphetamine. Id. Between seven and eight minutes passed between the time Struble issued the warning *1119and Floyd’s positive alert, to contraband. Id.
The Court held that “[l]ike a Terry stop, the tolerable duration of police inquiries in the traffic-stop context is determined by the seizure’s ‘mission’-to address the traffic violation that warranted the stop, and attend to related safety concerns.” Id. at 1614 (internal citation omitted). “Authority for the-seizure thus ends when tasks tied to the traffic infraction are — or reasonably should have been— completed.” Id. Ultimately, while an officer “may conduct certain unrelated checks during an otherwise lawful traffic stop — he may not do so in a way that prolongs the stop, absent the' reasonable suspicion ordinarily demanded to justify detaining an individual.” Id. at 1615. The Court noted that an officer’s mission ordinarily includes “cheeking the driver’s, license, determining whether there are outstanding warrants against the driver, and inspecting the automobile’s registration and proof of insurance.” Id. A dog sniff, which is aimed at “detecting] evidence of ordinary criminal wrongdoing,” is not an ordinary element of a traffic stop. Id. (quoting Indianapolis v. Edmond, 531 U.S. 32, 40-41, 121 S.Ct. 447, 148 L.Ed.2d 333 (2000)).
Applying Rodriguez, the Ninth Circuit held recently that an officer’s “prolongation of the traffic stop to conduct both an ex-felon registration check and a ‘dog sniff violated the Fourth Amendment unless the officer had independent reasonable suspicion to support the prolongations.” Evans, 786 F.3d at 780-81. A traffic stop is hot unreasonably prolonged if the officers “diligently pursued” their investigation in order to “confirm or dispel their suspicions quickly.” Sharpe, 470 U.S. at 686, 105 S.Ct. 1568. The court must examine the “totality of the circumstances” surrounding the stop to determine whether the length was reasonable. See Turvin, 517 F.3d at 1101. Following Rodriguez, the central questions before the Court are whether the officers diligently pursued - their investigation, and whether they had independent reasonable suspicion to justify any- prolongation of Gorman’s seizure.9
1. The Prolonged Stop Was Not Consensual
As an initial matter, the Court notes that the extensions of Gorman’s stops were not consensual. -This is important because both Rodriguez and Evans involved searches that occurred after the driver refused to consent to a dog sniff. Rodriguez, 135 S.Ct. at 1613; Evans, 786 F.3d at 783-84. Here, Gorman expressed frustration more than once about having been stopped so soon after the initial stop, and about Fisher asking the same questions that Monroe had asked only forty minutes earlier. Gorman also stated that he had “opposition” to Fisher’s canine-sniff.
The Court is particularly troubled that the officers’ belief that Gorman would not consent to a search, and his opposition to the canine sniff, .appears to have contributed to the officers’ purported reasonable suspicion to extend the stop and continue the investigation. Individuals have a right to refuse. consent for a search, and the existence of this right requires that denial of consent not be a basis to prolong *1120a stop. See Graves v. City of Coeur D’Alene, 339 F.3d 828, 841 (9th Cir.2003), abrogation on other grounds recognized by C.B. v. City of Sonora, 769 F.3d 1005 (9th Cir.2014) (finding that refusal “to consent to a search cannot be a basis for the arrest unless [the officer] had a right to search” independent of the refusal); Gasho v. United States, 39 F.3d 1420, 1439 (9th Cir.1994) (noting that refusal to consent to a search “could not serve as a basis for finding criminal intent”); United States v. Prescott, 581 F.2d 1343, 1351 (9th Cir.1978) (finding that refusing to consent to a search cannot be a crime, “[n]or can it be evidence of a crime”). The record indicates that Gorman did not consent to the dog sniff, and his refusal to consent does not justify his prolonged seizure.
2. The Investigation Was Unreasonably Prolonged
Gorman argues that his stops were unreasonably prolonged. Specifically, Gorman notes that Fisher “embarked upon an investigation entirely unrelated to the purpose and proper scope of the traffic stop,” including “repeated questions about his travel itinerary, the purpose of his road trip, his employment, and his future plans; and thereupon proceeding to instead prepare a consent-to-search form for the mo-torHome.” Doc. #18 at 24. Courts have been reluctant to set a specific time limit for what would constitute unreasonable delay. See Turvin; 517 F.3d at 1102-03 (discussing unreasonable delay and declining to adopt a bright-line rule). “An officer’s inquiries into matters unrelated to the justification for the traffic stop ¡;. do not convert the encounter into something other than a lawful seizure, so long as those inquiries do not measurably extend the duration of the stop.” Arizona v. Johnson, 555 U.S. 323, 333, 129 S.Ct. 781, 172 L.Ed.2d 694 (2009) (emphasis added). Here, Gorman was initially stopped for a minor traffic offense at approximately 9:03 a.m. and released at approximately 9:26 a.m. when Monroe concluded that he did not have probable cause to search the motor home. Gorman was stopped the second time, again for a minor traffic offense, at approximately 10:15 a.m., Doc. # 23 at 10, and held for more than nine minutes before Fisher asked if he could conduct a canine sniff. Fisher knew that Monroe had previously ran a records check and lacked probable cause to hold Gorman, but nonetheless two additional records checks were conducted in order to prolong the detention and make time for a canine sniff. The positive alert occurred approximately twelve minutes after the second traffic stop occurred.
All tolled, Gorman was detained for a total of approximately thirty-five minutes without convincing independent reasonable suspicion — before the officers conducted a canine sniff of the motor home and obtained probable cause for the search. Of course, “an individual who has already been seized can still be further seized for purposes of the Fourth Amendment.” Hopkins v. Bonvicino, 573 F.3d 752, 772 n. 12 (9th Cir.2009). But a second stop requires additional reasonable suspicion independent of the reasonable suspicion present in the first stop. Evans, 786 F.3d at 780-81; see United States v. Ruelas-Lopez, 220 Fed.Appx. 707, 708 (9th Cir.2007) (noting that the defendant was correct that the second stop “must be supported by ‘reasonable suspicion’ independent of any suspicion that was dispelled as a result of the first stop”). As discussed below, such additional reasonable suspicion was not present here.
The Court must analyze a prolonged stop for reasonableness. Based on the totality of the circumstances, the Court finds that the officers’ prolonged investigation was unreasonable because it involved more than thirty-five minutes of *1121detention before the canine sniff, all without sufficient independent reasonable suspicion to prolong Gorman’s seizure beyond the reasonable amount of time necessary to complete the purpose of the traffic stops. Importantly, the Supreme Court held in Rodriguez that an ordinary traffic stop includes “checking the driver’s license, determining whether there are outstanding warrants against the driver, and inspecting the automobile’s registration and proof of insurance.” 135 S.Ct. at 1615. Fisher was aware that Monroe had already conducted these checks, but conducted additional redundant checks in order to prolong the stop -to allow for a canine sniff, all without additional reasonable suspicion. The Court finds under Rodriguez that this prolongation was unreasonable.
3. The Prolongation of the Second Stop Was Not Supported by Independent Reasonable Suspicion
Finally, Gorman argues that nothing in Gorman’s interaction with Monroe or Fisher gave Fisher reasonable suspicion to prolong the traffic stop. Fisher knew that Monroe had already stopped Gorman, conducted a records check, and concluded that he lacked probable cause to search the motor home.10 Doc. # 18 at 25. Gorman argues that Fisher’s articulated reasons for expanding the investigation following the records checks were not supported by any additional reasonable suspicion. Specifically, Fisher .stated that his EPIC check indicated that Gorman “had multiple border crossings with the most recent in 2012 from Madrid, Spain; into the United States” and that Gorman “transferred $11,000 cash to another subject with an unknown name.” Id., Ex. A at 5. Gorman states that “these are entirely innocuous circumstances common to untold numbers óf law abiding citizens.” Id. at 26. Fisher also referred to Gorman’s refusal to answer questions and “abrupt initial contact” in support of his probable cause explanation. Id., Ex. A at 5.
Fisher’s purported additional reasonable suspicion falls short. Fisher referred frequently to Gorman’s abrasive demeanor, and stated that this seemed suspicious. Courts often rely on conclusions of police' officers because their experiences enable them to notice factors that “might well elude an untrained person.” United States v. Cortez, 449 U.S. 411, 418, 101 S.Ct. 690, 66 L.Ed.2d 621 (1981). Citing federal law, the Nevada Supreme Court has held that personality factors “such as nervousness are part of a reasonable suspicion analysis but, standing alone, carry little' weight because many citizens become nervous during a traffic stop, even when they have nothing to hide.” Beckman, 305 P.3d at. 918 (citing United States v. Arvizu, 534 U.S. 266, 275, 122 S.Ct. 744, 151 L.Ed.2d 740 (2002)). Similarly; it is not surprising that an individual traveling through a remote stretch of an interstate highway would be frustrated about being pulled over twice and detained for minor traffic infractions in a fifty mile stretch of highway. In the context of. Fisher’s knowledge at the time of the stop — he knew that Monroe stopped Gorman less than an -hour before — there was ■ little about Gorman’s reaction'to support a reasonable' suspicion to detain .him further.11 *1122Accordingly, Fisher did not have sufficient reasonable suspicion to prolong the second stop in order to conduct the canine sniff.
In its supplemental briefing, and after it became evident that the two stops were connected, the United States argues that “Monroe’s earlier traffic stop is wholly irrelevant to the Fourth Amendment analysis applicable to Gorman’s motion to suppress.” Doc. # 62 at 16. Specifically, the United States contends that “Fisher’s traffic stop was based on his own observations of traffic violations being committed by Gorman, without regard to any information provided” by Monroe. Id. These statements cannot be reconciled with the testimony by Monroe and Fisher, or an independent review of the evidence before the Court. Fisher testified that Monroe told him that, the white motor home was driving in his direction with a Delaware license plate, that he suspected that the motor home was carrying large amounts of currency, and that a canine sniff would likely be needed to obtain probable cause for a search. Fisher also testified that it is highly unusual for a motor home to be driving cross-country through this portion of I-80 in January, which indicates that he could-quickly identify the vehicle to which Monroe referred. Considering the entirely of this history,’ and the fact that it was virtually certain that Gorman would drivé past Fisher’s location, the two stops' are closely related.
The Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals has held that information gleaned from one stop cannot constitute the sole basis for reasonable suspicion to justify a second stop. In United States v. Peters, a case remarkably similar to this case, an officer pulled over a vehicle that had been weaving between lanes of traffic. 10 F.3d 1517, 1519 (10th Cir.1993). Due to' the nervous demeanor of the vehicle’s occupants, the officer concluded that they were likely transporting illegal drugs. Id. The officer requested a canine unit but none was available. Id. After obtaining consent, the officer conducted a search of the vehicle but did not discover -evidence of drugs or other illegal activity. Id. Still, the officer was not satisfied with the effectiveness of his search and continued to suspect that the vehicle contained illegal contraband. Id. After releasing the suspects, the officer reported the stop to his superior, who relayed the information to the local DEA office. Id. The DEA then passed information about the stop to a border patrol agent with a description of the truck and its occupants, and a full description of the prior stop. Id. at 1520. The second officer then stopped the vehicle, and while questioning the occupants, noticed evidence of a counterfeit social security card, which led- to the driver’s confession that he was in the country illegally. Id. No drugs were discovered. Id. The court concluded that the second stop was unconstitutional because an officer who conducts a search *1123cannot wait until the suspect “has traveled down the road a few miles, and then make a second Terry stop based solely on the conduct that has already proyed to be illusory.” Id. at 1522. It follows.that an officer who.conducts a stop and concludes that reasonable suspicion is not present for a search “cannot circumvent Terry and Place by calling upon a different officer, to make the second intrusion in his stead.” Id.
The Court agrees with -this analysis,12 and finds that based on the present facts, the second stop was not' based on. independent reasonable suspicion .sufficient to justify the prolonged investigation. No matter how this can be viewed,.the two stops were for minor traffic violations -and they both were extended beyond the legitimate purposes for such traffic stops.
Importantly here, the evidence indicates that Fisher never would have pulled Gorman over if Monroe had not relayed information about the first stop, a description of the white motor home, Monroe’s suspicion that the vehicle contained large amounts of currency, and that a canine sniff would likely be required in order - to obtain probable cause for a search. After speaking with Monroe, Fisher positioned his vehicle between the 302 and 303 mile markers on I-80 and waited until he saw the motor home, at which point Fisher began to follow the vehicle and thereafter effectuated the traffic stop. Fisher, a sergeant and canine handler, was normally assigned to felony investigations, and his duties normally did not involve traffic patrol. The second detention was therefore a foregone conclusion based on the information passed to Fisher by Monroe, rather than an investigation based on Fisher’s independent determination that reasonable suspicion existed to conduct the second stop based upon a suspected traffic violation.
The Court finds based on the foregoing that the officers’ prolonged investigation was not consensual, reasonable,. or conducted with' independent reasonable suspicion. Accordingly, the second traffic stop was unreasonably prolonged under the Fourth Amendment. Rodriguez, 135 S.Ct. at 1615; Evans, 786 F.3d at 780-81. Based on this Fourth Amendment violation, the Court grants Gorman’s Motion to Suppress.
C. Search of the Motor Home
Before the officers, received a response from dispatch on the records search, Fisher asked Gorman if he had an objection to Fisher conducting a canine sniff , around the motor home. Gorman responded “I have opposition, if that means anything.” Fisher then conducted a weapons pat-down search of Gorman, and asked him to stand twenty to thirty feet in front of the motor home. Next,- Fisher released Euros from his vehicle and began the canine sniff. After circling the motor home, Euros sat down near the back right compartment of the vehicle. Fisher described this as a “committed sit and stare,” which he considered to be a positive alert. Gorman expressed disbelief that the dog would positively alert to the back right compart*1124ment, and then stated that the officer could search the compartment, noting that it had never contained drugs. Fisher declined and returned to his vehicle to request a search warrant, which an Elko County Justice of the Peace granted at approximately 11:15 a.m. Thereafter, the officers searched the entire motor home, rather than searching only the back rear compartment where Euros positively alerted, and found the defendant currency throughout the motor home.
Gorman argues that the search warrant was tantamount to a “general warrant”- because it did not state the object of the search with particularity, instead referring to “any evidence of a crime at this time unknown which may come into view of the searching officers, including but not limited to any instrumentalities or objects consistent with controlled substance violations.” Doc. # 18, Ex. C. The Fourth Amendment addresses the problem of general warrants — implicating an “exploratory rummaging in a person’s belongings” — “by requiring a ‘particular description’ of the things to be seized.” Andresen v. Maryland, 427 U.S. 463, 479, 96 S.Ct. 2737, 49 L.Ed.2d 627 (1976) (quoting Coolidge v. New Hampshire, 403 U.S. 443, 467, 91 S.Ct. 2022, 29 L.Ed.2d 564 (1971)). In Andresen, the Court upheld a warrant authorizing a search of “other fruits,, instru-mentalities and evidence of a crime at this [time] unknown” only because it concluded with “a sentence containing a lengthy list of specified and particular items to be seized.” Id. The Court finds that.Andre-sen would also uphold the present warrant, which identifies “controlled substances, paraphernalia, articles of personal property tending to identify the person or persons in control of the vehicle to be searched, and/or any contraband, fruits, instrumentalities” before mentioning “any evidence of a crime at this time unknown which may come into view of the searching officers.” See Doc. # 18, Ex. C.
However, even assuming that the officers had probable cause to search the back light compartment where the canine alerted, the Court is not convinced that the dog’s positive alert to the compartment gave the officers probable cause to search the entire motor home. Despite Gorman’s consent to search the compartment, the officers did not even begin their search of-the motor home with the compartment, instead beginning with a search of the motor home’s main cabin. “Probable cause to believe that a container placed in the trunk of a taxi contains contraband or evidence does not justify a search of the entire cab.” United States v. Ross, 456 U.S. 798, 824, 102 S.Ct. 2157, 72 L.Ed.2d 572 (1982); California v. Acevedo, 500 U.S. 565, 580, 111 S.Ct. 1982, 114 L.Ed.2d 619 (1991). Ross also states that if “probable cause justifies the search of a lawfully stopped vehicle, it justifies the search of every part of the vehicle and its contents that may conceal the object of the search.” 456 U.S. at 825, 102 S.Ct. 2157. Of course, this language only applies if the officers had probable cause to search the entire vehicle in the first place. Here, the purported positive canine alert supported probable cause for the back right compartment of the vehicle, but not the entire vehicle, because Euros walked around the motor home and only alerted to the back right compartment. Cf. United States v. Stewart, 770 F.2d 825, 829 (9th Cir.1985) (noting that Ross stands for the proposition that “if probable cause exists to search an entire vehicle, rather than merely a particular container in the vehicle, the search may extend to the entire vehicle”).
The parties have not briefed this issue, and the Court need not weigh in considering that the Court has held that the officers unreasonably prolonged their investigation prior to the canine sniff without the existence of additional reasonable suspicion.
*1125D. Omissions by the Government
1. Omissions in Fisher’s Warrant Application
Fisher’s original telephonic warrant application (Doc. # 18, Ex. A), first declaration submitted to the Court (Doc. # 12), and second, declaration submitted to the Court (Doc. #23) each contain significant material omissions regarding Gorman’s seizure and search. First, the warrant application never mentions Monroe’s original stop, that Monroe called Fisher with information about Gorman and Gorman’s vehicle, or that Fisher was dispatched to investigate Gorman. See generally Doc. # 18, Ex. A. This omission thereby represented to the magistrate that Fisher pulled Gor-man over solely due to his traffic violations, as opposed to having been -encouraged to investigate Gorman by-NBP and Monroe. Second, Fisher represents in the warrant application that Gorman “indicated he had no job.” Id. at 5. This is unambiguously contradicted by the. video of Fisher’s questioning, of Gorman, in which Gorman states clearly that he works for a Maui paddle board company.
“To prevail on a claim that the police procured a warrant through deception, the party challenging the warrant must show that the affiant deliberately or recklessly made false statements or omissions that were material to the finding of probable cause.” United States v. Ruiz, 758 F.3d 1144, 1148 (9th Cir.2014). “If the officer omitted facts required to prevent technically true statements in the affidavit from being misleading, the court determines whether the affidavit, once corrected and supplemented, establishes probable cause.” Id. (quoting Ewing v. City of Stockton, 588 F.3d 1218, 1223 (9th Cir.2009)). “If probable cause remains after amendment, then no constitutional error has occurred.” Id. (quoting Bravo v. City of Santa Maria, 665 F.3d 1076, 1084 (9th Cir.2011)). In Ruiz, the Ninth Circuit considered a warrant that was granted after the officer omitted evidence regarding witnesses’ prior crimes and evidence of dishonesty, where the 'witnesses’ statements helped establish probable cause for the search. Id. at 1147. The court held that these were serious material omissions, but that even without the ‘ information, there was “enough evidence in the record corroborating [the witnesses’] statements to ‘diminish[ ] the adverse effect’ of their credibility issues in the context of the probable cause inquiry.” Id. at 1152 (quoting United States v. Reeves, 210 F.3d 1041, 1045 (9th Cir.2000)).
Fisher stated in the warrant application that he decided to effectuate a traffic stop after he “noticed the vehicle drift to the right and drive on the white fog line. I further noticed the |driver had the .curtain pulled forward on the driver’s side window which obstructs the driver’s view of the vehicle’s left blind area.” Doc. # 18, Ex. A at 4. Ultimately, Fisher stated that he believed probable cause existed to search Gorman’s vehicle because “Euros alerted to the right rear fender and cargo department by displaying changes in breathing, rapid sniffs, along with a committed sit and stare response, with a final committed down and final stay response, which indicated to Deputy Fisher that there may be controlled substances ... inside the vehicle.” Id. at 6.
The Supreme Court has granted wide deference to positive alerts of canine units to justify probable cause to conduct a search of a vehicle. See Illinois v. Caballes, 543 U.S. 405, 409, 125 S.Ct. 834, 160 L.Ed.2d 842 (2005) (finding that a dog sniff supported a finding of probable cause for a search, and that “the use of a well-trained narcotics-detéction dog ... ‘ during a lawful traffic stop[ ] generally does not implicate legitimate privacy interests”); United States v. Place, 462 U.S. 696, 707, 103 S.Ct. *11262637, 77 L.Ed.2d 110 (1983) (noting that a canine sniff “does not expose noncontra-band items that otherwise would remain hidden from public view”). Accordingly, Fisher’s warrant application likely included sufficient information to support a finding of probable cause based on Euros’ positive alert alone, and the omitted information, if added to the warrant affidavit, likely would not negate the finding of probable cause.
The parties have not briefed this issue, and the Court need , not .determine whether Fisher’s omissions in the warrant application — that could have led the .magistrate to believe that the second stop rendered the officers’ investigation of Gorman unconstitutionally long — require suppression of the seized evidence because the Court has already held that the evidence must be suppressed based on the officers’ collective unreasonably prolonged successive traffic stops. Accordingly, the Court declines to rule on the validity of the search warrant based upon the errors and omissions in the search warrant application, and documents filed with the Court.
2. Omissions by the United States Attorney—Half of the Story
The Court is disappointed that the United States would aggressively pursue this forfeiture action while all of its moving documents' for summary judgment and supporting affidavits contained material omissions concerning the history leading to the traffic stop and canine sniff at issue. The government’s Motion for Summary Judgment, with supporting affidavits from Deputy Fisher and the Assistant United States’ Attorney, made no disclosure of anything which would have suggested that Fisher’s stop was a follow-up on Monroe’s stop and was based upon suspicion of a drug related offense. The government’s Motion for Summary Judgment and supporting affidavits did not disclose the existence of any of the following: ,
(a) that there was a stop by Monroe;
(b) that Monroe called the Elko County Sheriffs office even before he had re- ' leased the suspect Gorman and his motor home;
(c) that Monroe was áúggesting that'a canine sniff be conducted on Gorman’s motor hoine' everi though he recog- ’ nized that probable cause at that point was lacking for a search;
(d) that the reason Fisher was involved was because he was a canine officer;
(e) that Fisher was a sergeant involved in felony investigations and was not normally a traffic officer;
(f) that there was a cell phone conversation between Monroe and Fisher wherein the officers discussed Monroe’s stop and the oncoming arrival in the Elko area of Gorman and the mo-torhoíné13 and this included:
(1) identification of Gorman, the motor home and its license plate;
(2) that Monroe suspected that the motor home was carrying large amounts of currency related to drug activity; and
(3) that a canine sniff would be necessary to establish probable cause for a search;
(g) that the purpose of Fisher and his canine positioning themselves between the 302 and 303 mile markers on 1-80 was to wait for Gorman to pass by in the motor home; and
*1127(h) that upon seeing the motor home and following it, Fisher’s purpose was to find a traffic violation which might support pulling over Gorman and thereafter initiating a'canine sniff of the motor home.
None of this history was disclosed in the government’s Motion for Summary Judgment or in. it’s reply in support of' its Motion. The simple fact is that the two stops are inextricably linked. Notwithstanding this, the government’s entire Motion for Summary Judgment presented to the court was framed in the context expressed on page three of the Motion:
* * *Given the state of the evidence, summary judgment should now be entered in favor of the United States because the aggregate facts — taken as a whole — satisfy the United States’ burden of proof in this case and those facts cannot be rebutted by Gorman.
II. STATEMENT OF FACTS 1
1. On January 23, 2013, ECSO Deputy Doug Fisher was monitoring westbound traffic on Interstate 80 near Elko, Nevada. At approximately 10:20 am, he observed a .white motorhome bearing Delaware license plates traveling westbound with the driver’s side window obstructed by a window curtain which had been pulled forward. Deputy Fisher followed the white motorhome and observed the motorhome drift to the right on to the white fog line three times and remain on the fog line each time for a least 400 yards. Deputy Fisher also observed that the rear window of the motorhome was obstructed by blinds or curtains which were closed. See Fisher Decl., ¶ 3.
See United States’ Motion for Summary Judgment, Doc. # 11 at 3:12-24 (emphasis added).
The government’s nondisclosure of the information regarding Monroe’s initial stop is troublesome for many reasons, but certainly because the relationship between the two stops is so obviously relevant to the legal issues before the Court. See United States v. $186,416.00 in U.S. Currency, 590 F.3d 942, 953 (9th Cir.2010) (granting claimant’s .motion for summary judgment because the information supporting probable cause'to institute the civil forfeiture action was directly linked to an illegal search). In $186,416.00, the Ninth Circuit-emphasized that the dual purposes of the exclusionary rule are “to deter police misconduct in the future and to preserve the integrity of the courts,” and that “the exclusionary rule is particularly well-suited to advance both of these goals in the context of civil forfeiture proceedings.” Id. at 950. Applying these principles, the Ninth Circuit found that a search of a medical marijuana clinic was illegal because when applying for a search warrant, the Los Angeles Police Department “was aware of extensive evidence to suggest” that the clinic was operating legally under California law but nevertheless “omitted any reference to this evidence when applying to a state magistrate 'for a' search warrant under state law.” Id. at 952 (emphasis in original). The Court ruled in' favor' of the ‘claimant because' there was an “unbroken ‘causal ' chain’ link[age]” between what was not disclosed and what was.
As in $186,416.00, Monroe’s stop and communication with Fisher should have been disclosed to the Court because “there *1128indisputably is a strong connection between” Monroe’s stop and the forfeiture of Defendant currency. Id. at 951. Rather, the United States’. Motion for Summary Judgment omitted the entirety of the reasons why Deputy Fisher was monitoring the westbound traffic on I-80, why his canine was with him, and why the stop was drug oriented rather than a routine' traffic stop. The' Ninth Circuit has expressly approved of application of the exclusionary rule when currency was seized as a result of such government omissions, noting that the civil forfeiture context is “particularly well-suited”' to advancing the exclusionary rule’s goals: to deter misconduct in the future and preserve the integrity of the courts. Id. at 950.
In particular, the government has a duty of candor and fan disclosure to the Court.14 The Court expects and. relies upon the United States Attorney’s Office to be candid and forthcoming with material information uniquely held only in.possession of the government and clearly relevant to central issues, before the Court. That did not occur here.
E. Attorney Fees
The Civil Forfeiture Reform Act (“CAF-RA”) provides that a successful claimant in a civil forfeiture action can recover from the United States “reasonable attorney fees and other litigation costs reasonably incurred by the claimant.” 28 U.S.C. § 2465(b)(1)(A). Applying this provision of CAFRA, the Ninth Circuit has held that “attorney fees awarded under CAFRA are payable to the claimant, not to claimant’s attorney.” United States v. $186,416.00 in U.S. Currency, 642 F.3d 753, 754-55 (9th Cir.2011).
Gorman is undoubtedly, the successful party here. If Gorman elects to file a Motion for Attorney Fees, the Court will entertain such a motion filed within fourteen (14) days of this Order. Gorman shall comply with Local Rule 54-16 in filing such a motion. The United States shall file any response within two weeks of Gorman’s motion. Gorman may file a reply within one week, of the United States’ response.
IV. Conclusion
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that Gorman’s Motion to Suppress (Doc. # 18) is GRANTED. The seized funds shall be returned to Gorman, or his designee, within thirty (30) days of the entry of this order.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Gor-man’s Motion for Leave to File Excess Pages (Doc. # 60) is GRANTED.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
. Refers to the Court’s docket number.
. Monroe initially stopped Gorman near the 347 mile marker on I-80. The Court notes that there was a high probability that Gorman would pass this location because the only way for Gorman to reach Sacramento going westbound on I-80 is through Elko.
. Fisher later contradicted the statements in the warrant application about when he first decided to effectuate the traffic stop. Specifically, Fisher told‘the magistrate that he noticed the vehicle drift onto the fog line before he decided to effectuate the stop. Doc. #18, Ex. A at 4. At the evidentiary hearing, Fisher *1114stated that he decided to. stop the motor home after noticing that the curtain was pulled forward, and that he only noticed the purported fog line violations as , he was following the vehicle immediately prior to the stop.
. Fisher acknowledged. at the evidentiary hearing that this was "a lie.”
. In addition to this omission, Fisher stated in the warrant application that Gorman "indicated that he had no job.” Doc. # 18, Ex. A at 5. This statement is directly contradicted by the video of the traffic stop, which shows Gorman tell Fisher that he works for a paddle board company in Maui.
. NRS 484B.223(1) states that drivers must drive "as nearly as practicable entirely within a single lane.” NRS 484B.163(3) provides that "a vehicle must not be operated upon any highway unless the driver’s vision through any required glass equipment is normal.”
. Fisher’s belief that a fog line violation occurred was likely mistaken. In United States v. Lopez-Rojo, this Court found that "[a]l-though the Nevada Supreme Court or any other Nevada court — has not issued a opinion regarding what constitutes a failure to maintain a traffic lane, persuasive authority weighs in favor of finding that crossing over, as opposed to touching, a fog line constitutes [a violation of NRS 484B.223(1)].” No. 3:07-cr-0080, 2008 WL 2277495, at *5 (D.Nev, May 29, 2008) (emphasis added). In United States v. Delgado-Hernandez, the Ninth Circuit concluded that the defendant did not violate NRS 484B.223(1) by briefly crossing over the fog line approximately twelve to fourteen inches one time, 283 Fed.Appx. 493, 496-99 (9th Cir.2008). The Ninth Circuit found significant the fact that the defendant was not speeding or otherwise driving in an erratic manner. Id. at 497-98.
. It is well established that a records check is an expected part of a traffic stop. See United States v. Mendez, 476 F.3d 1077, 1080 (9th Cir.2007); Berkemer v. McCarty, 468 U.S. 420, 437, 104 S.Ct. 3138, 82 L.Ed.2d 317 (1984).
, The Court also considers the Nevada Supreme Court’s ruling on the constitutionality of a similar stop to be persuasive. In State v. Beckman, the Nevada Supreme Court held that "[a] prolonged stop may be reasonable in three limited circumstances: when the extension of the stop, was consensual, the delay ,was de minimis, or the officer lawfully receives information during the traffic stop that creates a reasonable suspicion of criminal conduct.” - Nev. -, 305 P.3d 912, 917 (2013) (en banc).
. Of course, just because an officer concluded "that he did not have enough evidence to seek a federal search warrant does not establish that probable cause was lacking.” United States v. Crawford, 657 F.2d 1041, 1047 (9th Cir.1981). Here, the Court considers Monroe’s determination that he lacked probable cause for a search in the context of Gorman's argument that his traffic stops were unreasonably prolonged, not to conclude that probable cause for the ultimate search was lacking.
. Although not mentioned in the warrant application,' Fisher stated at the evidentiary *1122hearing that he also found it suspicious that Gorman met him at the door of the motor home with his identification and insurance information, and that he was wearing a winter jacket, hat, and gloves. Considering that Gorman had been so recently pulled over, it was mid-January in northern Nevada, the temperature was below thirty degrees, and Fisher knew of the previous outdoor detention of Gorman, the Court finds that this conduct was not objectively suspicious. Fisher also stated at the evidentiary hearing that Gorman’s use of a motor home was suspicious because he doesn’t see many motor homes on I-80 in the winter. As there are many innocent reasons why the traveling public might drive a motor home on an interstate highway in January, Gorman’s vehicle type, by itself, does not establish reasonable suspicion to prolong the stop. Moreover, it is the sheerest of speculation to assume a late model motor home over any other type of vehicle creates suspicion of criminal conduct.
. Gorman also argues that the second stop was unconstitutional under United States v. Johns, 891 F.2d 243, 245-46 (9th Cir.1989). Doc. # 61 at 35. In Johns, the Ninth Circuit suppressed evidence because an initial illegal traffic stop "was the impetus for the chain of events leading to the marijuana and thus - [was] too closely and inextricably linked to the discovery for the taint to have dissipated.” Johns, 891 F.2d at 245-46. Johns -is distinguishable because it involved an initial stop that was wholly illegal. Here, the Court has found that .under Heien, Monroe’s stated belief that he had reasonable suspicion to conduct the initial traffic stop was not objectively unreasonable. However, it appears that the first traffic stop was also unduly prolonged under Rodriguez.
. Gorman was traveling on Interstate Highway 80 between Wells, Nevada, and Elko, Ndvada, an isolated area of northern Nevada. This is an approximate 50 mile stretch, of interstate highway with limited off ramps. The first populated area Gorman would be passing through after Monroe’s stop would.be Elko, and this would be shortly after Fisher and Monroe’s conversation.
