Read the story and weep for the death of freedom and individual rights.
On Christmas Eve 1968 three Americans became the first humans to visit another world. What they did to celebrate was unexpected and profound, and will be remembered throughout all human history. Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8, Robert Zimmerman's classic history of humanity's first journey to another world, tells that story, and it is now available as both an ebook and an audiobook, both with a foreword by Valerie Anders and a new introduction by Robert Zimmerman.
The ebook is available everywhere for $5.99 (before discount) at amazon, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. If you buy it from ebookit you don't support the big tech companies and the author gets a bigger cut much sooner.
The audiobook is also available at all these vendors, and is also free with a 30-day trial membership to Audible.
"Not simply about one mission, [Genesis] is also the history of America's quest for the moon... Zimmerman has done a masterful job of tying disparate events together into a solid account of one of America's greatest human triumphs."--San Antonio Express-News

Brings to mind the movie Minority report. What was he going to do with that empty space that he made in his car?
Keep in mind that I have no trouble believing that he probably had the intent to do exactly what the police suspected him of doing. They just happened to pull this particular guy over? Can you be arrested for intent? Intent is a funny thing.
Am I allowed to make a “secret” compartment in my home?
You are allowed to do anything you like and they are allowed to arrest you even if you don’t do it.
You know that looks like a speaker box to me, or a place to put an amp. Or a nice place to hide the jack and other emergency tools. Lots of cars have those compartments from the factory.
Car customizers box in the trunks of cars all the time. Sometimes just to make the look cleaner and finished. Other times to hide air ride systems or other ugly components.
This law will be changed or tossed out because of that.
Until them just throw a speaker, amp or jack inside the box and its use is now defined.
I want a secret compartment to stash my valuables in so they don’t get jacked when I am fishing or hiking. Also, this type of thing is very appealing because of the coolness factor; boys with toys as they say.
Assuming the man doesn’t have a drug-related arrest record, ‘intent’ is going to be hard to prove. The DA might decide that this case isn’t worth the headache.
