In Ohio you can be arrested for having a compartment in your vehicle that police think might be able to contain drugs, even if it has nothing to do with drugs. This is not just one of those stupid laws on the books that nobody pays attention to. Instead, this is a law passed in 2012 that was enforced for the first time with an arrest in late November 2013.
Several states have passed ‘secret compartment’ laws that state you can be arrested simply for having a compartment in your car – even if there is nothing in it.

STATE HIGHWAY
A criminal would keep a gun on their person. He/she would use it when needed, secret compartment or not. Actually the secret compartment would delay the time it takes a criminal to reach for their weapons. So, a secret compartment kinda contributes to few cops killed in the line of duty. I want cops to feel safe so they make fewer mistakes. Secret compartment does that.
I fear the free America is slipping away rapidly and we the people don’t seem to even care that’s what is really scary.
It’s stupid!!!!
why don’t they just dress up like hitlers stupied Nazis !!!!
As a Bail Bondsman, I can tell you they are already here! The State Police operate like the Gestapo! They have their own set of rules they abide by. When no other agency would have your car towed and would allow you to arrange to have a family member or friend take care of it, the Staters will have it towed! No amount of pleading or financial difficulty is considered, thereby costing you at least another $300! The fact that the only reason they impound your vehicle is that you failed to pay a $20 parking ticket means nothing to them. Here in Idaho they’re known as the “pricks” of law enforcement! Our local police and Sheriffs don’t come close to this heavy handed behavior. They are attuned to their community and govern with compassion. I believe they’re motto is, “but for the grace of God, there go I”. Helluva good way to judge your fellow man, in my opinion.
A secret compartment? That? Well, no I don’t have anything in it. Hey, leave it alone. I said I didn’t have anything in it. ………..Oh, thanks, you found my pet rattlesnake.
