Illinois state law is that police can sieze a person's vehicle if there
is a hidden compartment that didn't come with the car from the factory
and the police believe it was to hide something from them. The way the
law is written, if someone thought the local PD was after his jelly
doughnuts so he built a secret compartment and hid a dozen jelly
doughnuts in there, the cops upon discovering the compartment and the
jelly doughnuts using their dog could then take the car.
