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

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.

The lockbox itself is the felony, so even if you open it up, they will prosecute you.

Pretty fricking simple. Don't register you car and hand over title to the State.
 
BULLCRAP! I want to secure my belongings from car thieves when I park my car. This includes a secret battery killswitch ,and a secret gun compartment so that they cant steal it so easily.
 
Only secret hiding place I normally have in the truck is the bottom of a shotgun barrel . Should I offer to hold it while they peer into it ? :) I know those Buckeye troopers tend to lean toward the rude , but as a native born Hoosier from Southern Indiana , we pride ourselves on hospitality ;]
 
lol.. What about pickup trucks with toolboxes, or a supply van with multiple spaces. Does this law makes UPS or fedex trucks illegal, with all their hundreds of added boxes and containers?
 
Doesn't the 4th Amendment essentially state the entire car must be treated like a secret compartment unless they have a search warrant? Car = Persons?
 
Yeah, but that Kasich, he's a Republican, and he's for limited government and freedom!
As a rule , in the midwest , Republican gov.'s only mean , not many tax increases where Dem Gov.'s mean more spending on Holy Grail's like public education . Notice , I mentioned freedom nowhere. Your choices are , which will steal the least from you..
 
My thoughts exactly.

Also, a Honda Ridgeliner has a factory-installed "secret" hiding spot, last I knew.

The s2000 has an advertised (in the brocure) "safe compartment" that's hidden. Guess Honda has to do a recall or some planes will fly into the local dealership.
 
Yeah I was thinking of Pimp My Ride too. The flip out screens and stuff like that. Or how about speaker boxes you could hide drugs in those. This could be endless.

Another question is why are we wasting tax payer money fighting this drug war. Could we not do something else with the money. Spend money on prevention and treatment plans. How about commercials on tv like the anti smoking ones.

If it gets to the point that you can't install an after market subwoofer these laws got to go.

I drlled a hole in the bottom of my spare tire holder in the trunk of my 57 Chevy in high school and used it to ice beer down in.
