I did hear that interview with Bert on JRE, Skinny. I somewhat stopped listening to Joe Rogan as I started finding his podcast somewhat old, but given COVID, it's decent enough background noise off Youtube on the TV.
As for the story behind it, Jon and people close around him have mentioned numerous times about the police in Albuquerque.
Jon is a black man with a lot of money, and the good ol' boys are none too much a fan of that, which is why he's pulled over literally all the time out there.

One of the officers that pulled him over in the past has received numerous complaints from citizens claiming they were profiled.
This happens a lot in these southern states, especially in certain counties. It's obvious the police down there have it out for him.
The DOJ has also investigated their police department in order to reform their practices against their colored population:

I don't care if his camp is there, it's time to move on, he's rich enough to have his trainers and sparring partners to come to him somewhere else.

or has his partying crazy ways made it difficult for local authorities hence what you were saying?
i haven't followed his out of the ring antics much other than what read here and on joe or ariel's podcasts...
