OH -"Secret" compartments in cars soon to be a felony.

[The Goat]

Does this mean the space between my truck bed and bed liner is illegal now?

Its just another way to make sure that every person is a criminal,so if they ever want to arrest you theyll have a list of reasons to choose.

Have you ever seen those incredible customized cars with TV screens, speakers, etc that are hidden and reveal themselves when activated? Those will all be illegal by this definition. The dealer installed disk changer in my Jetta would qualify as a "hidden compartment". It's not factory and was bolted to the vehicle and it has a sliding lid that closes. If you take the disk holder out and close the lid you could fit drugs in there... about 6 disks worth. What about the tool containers installed in many trucks. They're bolted to the vehicle and can be closed AND locked.

How does one do that?

I've heard this many times, but it seems completely and utterly unrealistic, like to trying to meditate a termite infestation out of your home.

I do not seek these people out.

They find me.

Consolidate liberty into a small defensible area rather than trying to work the existing system as a fragmented group. Sounds similar to FSP, but I think FSP should have targeted a smaller physical area to occupy.

United We stand.

Ah,, like the Branch Davidians.

well, it's a plan,,,

lol, first thought that came to my mind.

Numbers are important. Branch Davidians were something like ~100 people or so, I believe. Hell, even FSP in bumfuck freezing ass New Hampshire has 1,000. And they all moved there with a loosely knit support system.

Xzibit does not approve of this tomfoolery.

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.

So if you buy new floor mats or a seat cushion, you will be a criminal, because you "added" a "space."

Just wait a couple years until Congress says that this law is working so well that we need to adopt it at the federal level!

"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."

WTF?!? That description is so vague it could include a toolbox in the trunk. Drugs are already illegal, and this is obviously meant as a tack-on law to increase revenue, but it's only a matter of time before it's abused. Yet another state that I will never visit or spend my money in...

That description "a closed container... that is attached to an existing vehicle" describes perfectly an eighteen wheeler. So what are the going to do now? arrest every truck driver?

 

[eduardo89]

What next? Secret compartments are going to be illegal in your home too? Anyone with a closet or drawers will be a felon.

Or a locked safe.

 

[awake]

Thieves really hate secret compartments, it makes their life way more difficult than they like. The same goes for the State.

"Please exit the vehicle sir. I see you have a hidden compartment."
"Huh?"
"Yes, citizen. I am authorized by the state to conduct a thorough search of the space."
"Wut?"
"Drop your pants and bend over. We can do this the easy way or the hard way. Your choice."

 

[phill4paul]

Reported. This crosses the border line from the "War on Drugs" to the "War on Terror." My trouble is that there are so many agencies now I can't figure out who to report you to. Is there an agency that can direct me to the right agency?

 

[Sola_Fide]

This country is doomed.

Thank you AF for showing me this.

 

[madengr]

Let's say you have a lockbox, which of course you refuse to open without a warrant, then they will prosecute you under this law.

 

[Anti Federalist]

Ah,, like the Branch Davidians.

Actually, at the outset, the Davidians had superiority of the battle scene.

Had they wanted to, they could have slaughtered every ATF agent there.
