If you live in Massachusetts, don’t labor under the misconception that you own your vehicle, or a boat or plane. Under a bill sponsored by a Democrat legislator, the Commonwealth would forbid you from adding a hidden compartment to secure your private property, such as a handgun, money or other valuables.
Designed as an alleged anti-drug law, the bill would punish those who add a hidden compartment after the vehicle is purchased with a two-year mandatory prison sentence, and five years for subsequent offenses.
Even worse, the law would empower police to seize the vehicle under civil forfeiture law. Lawmakers in support of the House bill claim it’s necessary to prosecute the war on drugs. State police officials have endorsed the bill as needed to discourage drug trafficking.
Learn how the bill lessens the burden of proof on the Commonwealth and effectively guts the Fourth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution that protects citizens from unlawful searches and seizures. The disturbing details can be found on the next page.NEXT PAGE »
Wow. Massachusetts sucks such a huge pile of dead bear$#%&!@* Why would anyone in their right mind want to live there?
Silly people.
None of you own the car you bought, regardless of what state you live in.
Do you have the vehicles Original Document of Origin? Have you even seen said document?
It is what the manufacturer uses to show the ‘birth’ of the vehicle, it accompanies the vehicle to the dealership, then, after you agree to pay tens of thousands of dollars, is taken to the state and held under lock and key while they issue you a Registration. not a title or ownership.
Upon this registration the state then assess you fees (tab license, etc) to use your vehicle only if you agree to the rules they impose.
Fail to pay the fees, or follow the rules they make, and they come and take what you mistakenly believe to be your property away from you.
Making new rules about compartments, or anything else for that matter, is essentially the state dictating how you are ‘allowed’, or not, to alter their property. They own it, you get to maintain it.

The war on drugs is simply only to take our freedoms

Civil Asset Forfetur are the key words. They can call anything a hidden compartment and use that as as excuse to seize your property whether they find drugs or not.
Yet we’re supposed to love our police who cheerfully enforce this tyranny to the hilt. The city near me used to do random roadblocks and “request” permission to search the vehicle. You gonna say “No, thanks” to three big burly armed men staring at you with their “command presence”? Not easy, if you’ve been raised to respect authority.
Got my Gun in mine…
My new car has a hidden compartment in it. Open up the back lift the carpet remove the metal floor and there’s the motor.
