What if the compartment was for hiding his porn stash from his girlfriend? Or, his beer from his freeloading friends? What if he just wanted some place to try to conceal his valuables while traveling?
So, anything that “conceals” a space in your vehicle is assumed automatically to be drug related and thus punishable? So, if the spare tire well in the trunk is empty......am I violating the law in Ohio?
If arrested and charged with having a hidden compartment in your care (a 4th degree felony), you will have the opportunity to prove your innocence in court. That is if you have the $20,000 or more for attorneys fees. And even if you can prove your innocence, they get to keep your car.
No. A spare tire is considered prepping (hoarding). You're good.
What about the concealed gun safe I keep in my truck? Would that be considered illegal under this “law”?
Reminds me of the good old days of the Soviet Empire. Secret hiding places for anyhthign they could smuggle, like people, books, food, and money. Anyway, this is whatg happens in a society that has lost its reallity.
Or how about a multi-disc CD player, which could explain wires?
