Exactly. I'm in the same boat as VoiceofReason, with the same issues, for many years now. That's one of the reasons I'm so worried about government intrusion into my healthcare. The fact is, I've got nothing to hide really in my vehicle, but I might want to some day.03Lightningrocks wrote:You are right to be concerned. They are getting at least two dollars and as much as three dollars per mg for Oxy. That is fourty five bucks for a single 15 mg pill in some areas. It is a shame because when folks who really need the meds, like you for instance, go to the doctor, they are put through the ringer.VoiceofReason wrote:03Lightningrocks wrote:I was told by my brother, who is retired army and living in Ohio, that they have a huge problem with pain pill abuse. Ohio has a ridiculous amount of people on the government dole. It is an art form there to see how many freebies you can get. Anyway, he was telling me that every other person is walking around with a free health care card. They fake pain to get free Oxy and other opiates and then sell them for crazy profits. These drugs are coming out of small communities into the big cities and the law enforcement agencies are becoming like gestapo trying to curb the problem. There is a "pipeline" of sorts running through Kentucky into and through Ohio. Funny thing is happening though. While they are having great success at eliminating pain pills, even for folks who need them, the heroin trade has tripled. Heroin is cheaper than cigarettes in Ohio.
Anyway... there it is... the war on drugs failing and law enforcement flailing at the wind to fight it back. Meanwhile, citizens give up their rights under the guise of "the greater good".They fake pain to get free Oxy and other opiates and then sell them for crazy profits.
I have metal rods and screws in my spine and nerve damage in the nerves going to my left leg. No one could understand the pain I have unless they have experienced it. I don't want people to know the amounts and types of opiates I have because I might have to shoot someone.

No drugs necessary: Driver arrested for having empty compart
I put this item in this forum because the "illegal compartments" could be used to secure a firearm in a vehicle too. They don't HAVE to be for nefarious purposes......but in Ohio, this is now against the law and an arrestable offense.

He's right. That's what it looks like. If this can be unlawful, what's to prevent the next step: making it illegal to have a hiding place in your home?Civil libertarians are criticizing Ohio police for arresting a driver because his car contained a compartment that could theoretically store illegal drugs, though no drugs were found at that time.

It makes no difference whether police find drugs or not, according to a new Ohio law that prohibits secret compartments.

“Although Norman Gurley had no drugs on his person, nor in his car, nor could it be proven that he intended to conceal drugs, he was still arrested for the ‘crime’ of having a hidden compartment in the trunk of his car,” he wrote. “This is what a world without the Fourth Amendment looks like.”
