What should I do about the two compartments behind the back seat in my F150? They are hidden and you could store a lot of drugs in them.

Chevy trucks, Cadillacs, BMW's, Mercedes, and even foxbodies everywhere are liable for this arrest.

Didn't read it. I'm sure some overaggressive DA will go after someone using the factory compartments that are found to contain drugs, altering the law from the courtroom.
