A hidden compartment in your vehicle, with or without drugs, could mean big trouble as Ohio officials get serious about slowing down drug-smuggling.

A proposed state law, advocated by Gov. John Kasich, would make it a fourth-degree felony to own a vehicle equipped with secret compartments. A conviction would mean up to 18 months in jail and a potential $5,000 fine.

Wrong. The gov't has never been stronger or more secure.

The Constitution and our freedoms and liberties are being discarded by our government.

Unbelievable.

A draft of the law describes a hidden compartment as a “space, box, or other closed container” that is added, modified or attached to an existing vehicle.

Is an aftermarket subwoofer considered a box? What about a dog crate?

That depends on how bad a day the pig that stopped you is having.

Or if they decide that they just plain need to arrest you for SOMETHING.


It's to that point. They will get you one way or another if they want. Too many unenforceable laws, too many for any one person to know, etc. Our Republic is over. Long live the Empire.

My girlfriend's Beamer has a secret "road assistance" compartment in the trunk. Guess they will have to pull over anybody who drives a BMW.

I think these are 'compartments' that weren't originally installed. Basically, this is a nice reminder that you own NOTHING serf.

What if I reroute the windshield washer fluid tube into the cabin, sterilize the resovior and tube and fill the bitch with mad dog 20/20 so I can fill my cup while driving down the damn road by hitting a button. Is that wrong?

Don't they have to violate my 4th amendment rights to check for a hidden compartment?

Sigh. Rethorical, I know.

Just today as I was fabricating a full size spare carrier on the back of my road warrior. I looked up at the void where the space saver used to mount underneath.
I thought IT was a neat place to build a box to store tools, snatch strap, and utility items...hidden, low center of gravity, unused space....

So...****...I always thought it as part of my fricken culture to modify my ride in very awesome and cool ways that didn't hamper your/my safety and pollution control standards.

Ya know, everyone has their tipping point and I've been modifying MY**** SINCE I WAS 9 ****IN' YEARS OLD IT'S ****IN' SATURDAY NIGHT AFTER A HARD WEEKS WORK AND I'M ****EN BUZZED AND WANT TO KICK THE FUKKEN **** OUT OF SOMETHING **** **** ****!!!!!!!

cool. so on a trailer hitch where the receiver bar slides in is reason enough now to put Ohio residents in the slammer.

So much for me ever going to hamfest again. **** Ohio.

Yup Onelegged...in the end, it simply means, it's not your ****ing car...the state will decide what you can/can't do with it.

I think a secret compartment with a decent booby-trap might be in order...

I wonder if they have another law about how weapons are stowed in the car, requiring a bolted on gun safe. In which case you must and mustn't have the added-on box/gun safe
