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 »

No such thing as law abiding people. It is an axiom in Criminology that just about everyone has committed a felony at some point. We have to be watchful on how much power to give authorities, otherwise we could all have criminal records. America, by the way, already has the largest proportion of people incarcerated — number 1 in the world!
Ok your transporting illegal drug and you care about a law against hidden compartments. Well$#%&!@*guess you can’t haul around your drugs anymore.
See makes no sense, just like gun laws don’t effect criminals
