What Is the False Compartment Law?

El Código de Salud y Seguridad de California § 11366.8 tipifica como delito poseer un vehículo con compartimentos falsos utilizados para ocultar drogas o dinero ilegal.

Penas

Possessing a vehicle with a false compartment with drug storage intent is un delito grave punishable by 16 months, 2, or 3 years en prisión estatal. If drugs are actually found inside, additional charges for possession, possession for sale, or transportation significantly increase your total exposure.

What Prosecutors Must Prove

The prosecution must prove that a false compartment existed and that you knew about it and intended to use it to store or transport drugs. The intent element is a powerful point of attack — simply having a hidden space is not enough for condena.
