On Friday, CNS News<\/a> posted a story about a man arrested for driving a car<\/a> with a secret compartment.<\/p>\n

The article explains:<\/p>\n

The Ohio<\/a> law<\/a> passed last year prohibits, \u201cdesigning, building, constructing, fabricating, modifying, or altering a vehicle<\/a> to create or add a hidden compartment with the intent to facilitate the unlawful concealment or transportation of a controlled substance<\/a>, prohibit operating, possessing, or using 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.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

This seems to be a law against an intention rather than an actual crime. There were no drugs in the compartment. When I was a teenager, I knew someone who rerouted the air conditioning in his car to create a refrigerator<\/a> in the glove compartment<\/a>. I suspect he kept beer there, but he was old enough to buy beer; and if the bottles are not open, having them in the car is not illegal. Would his refrigerator have been cause for arrest in Ohio?<\/p>\n

The article further explains:<\/p>\n

Just days before Thanksgiving<\/a>, 30- year old Norman Gurley was pulled over for speeding, but Ohio State Troopers noticed wires running to the back of the car he was driving.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cDuring the search, they noticed some components inside the vehicle that did not appear to be factory,\u201d Lt. Michael Combs told WKYC-TV<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

“We actually figured it out and followed the wiring and we were able to get it open,” said Combs.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I have a problem with this law. If there had been anything in the compartment, the police would have had every right to arrest the person, but I don’t see how they can justify arresting a man for driving a car with a secret compartment with nothing in it. I believe this is another chapter in the growing story of our government’s assault on our rights as Americans.<\/p>\n
