When you thought it could not get worse, you can now be arrested for having an EMPTY compartment!
This is got to be the height of silliness. How in the world will the courts EVER prove anything WITHOUT physical evidence showing that the driver did BOTH knowingly operate, etc. such a vehicle AND did so with the knowledge that it was being operated illegally??? The ONLY purpose I see for this law is to expand confiscation of property WITHOUT due process of law.
30Dec2013: No drugs necessary: Driver arrested for having empty compartment.
So, how about we take this to the extreme and change the law to read:
Then arrest EVERY wife of every male JUDGE, LAWMAKER, POLICE OFFICER, etc for possessing a "hidden compartment" that could be used illegally! And don't forget to arrest EVERY female JUDGE, LAWMAKER, POLICE OFFICER, etc. while we are at it.

29Dec2013: Woman intrusively probed for six hours by Border Patrol agents, receives $5,000 bill
And I will bet anything that the dogs jumped on her because she was at her time of the month, since dogs tend to do that. Of course the agents are too stupid to know that.
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.
“No person shall knowingly operate, possess, or use a vehicle with a hidden compartment with knowledge that the hidden compartment is used or intended to be used to facilitate the unlawful concealment or transportation of a controlled substance,” the law states.
