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.
KEEP READING PAGE 2:
This is bull $#%&!@* I just got a Mini Van with lots of them like I’m a damn drug running they done this to me already and guess what made them look like a jackass when they found nothing so they broke my plate bulb
This is not “liberalism” as you claim. This is conservative statism. The Ohio State Legislature is overwhelmingly Republican, and the only State Senators and Representatives to vote against SB 305 were Democrats.
The war on drugs is a war on personal freedom, let me make that very clear, and is the stalwart of that supposed bastion of small government, Ronald Reagan. Creating the largest, most well armed police force with NO civilian oversight in modern history is the very definition of statism and big government. SWAT members busting your door down with stun grenades and tear gas at 4am, shooting innocent victims in their own bed; and the world’s highest prison population: that’s the legacy of Reagan and supposed “compassionate conservatism.”
So you don’t manufacture the vehicle, the compartment is there (though welded shut), and you can be arrested for the manufacturers design? Sounds like a revenue generator for the LEO community and I WAS an LEO.
Funny it says right in the article your word is power but none of my comments have been posted. F****n liberals only want you to see and hear what they want you to. Restricted education is key for a stupid powerless nation
Flat Out, it’s a Bad Law!!! For so many of us… our vehicles are much like the house. Some spend so much time commuting & personal valuable items are kept there. Thieves everywhere will simply take it if they can ~ so we place things out of site, in hope of keeping them, so that the thievery is not as likely to happen. (**An empty compartment is just that, an empty compartment**) what’s the crime??
Can you say anti-American!
Land of the free?

Do you not see that you, as well as the government, the pharmaceutical mega-corporations, AND the drug cartels and criminal syndicates are ALL under the control of the New World Order, Illuminati, and numerous subservient organizations and the like, sir? The information that I know is mind boggling and you will not even understand a fraction of the truth in your life, sir.”
