Wednesday, police arrested a man caught with nothing more than an illegal hidden compartment in his vehicle – an empty one at that.
You heard right; there were no drugs, no weapons, no Rebels, and no droids the Empire was looking for in the man’s truck. Instead, he is currently being held in custody on suspicion that his truck MIGHT be able to transport several pounds of cocaine in the future in his custom cargo hold.
Call me crazy, but doesn’t the legal concept of “innocent until proven guilty” apply to rural Lorain County too?
The feds’ failed war on drugs has devastated enough lives and liberties since its inception.
