The Ohio law explicitly excludes factory compartments as being "hidden". Only aftermarket or custom compartments could be considered "hidden".texanjoker wrote:Very interesting. The article doesnt state if any residue was found or if the arrested has a history of drug running. The law does appear to be way out there, maybe even overboard yet similar to parafanelia laws. I know no wires go to any hidden compartments on my car, yet there is a factory compartment on my car that one could consider hidden.

The Ohio law requires "visible drug residue", so this case sounds like it will get tossed. Either way, it is a bad law.
The Ohio State Highway Patrol pushed the law through with a (R) Governor and (R) Legislature eagerly lining up to prove they are "tough on drugs".
