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 »
Respect authority but respect your rights. No is a perfectly acceptable answer.
If it’s a secret compartment they can’t find it anyway

As President Lincoln once said “You stupid bastards let them do it to you again!” Not really, but he probably would if he could see all the liberties we’re allowing ourselves to be deprived of because we’re too stupid and lazy to keep up with and watch out for$#%&!@*politicians whose sole purpose in life seems to be passing bad laws!
You don’t own your car. Once a state titles it, they destroy the original manufacturer’s certificate of origin and take ownership. A title merely lists the current tenant. The only way around that is to buy a car brand new without financing it, getting that certificate, and never putting a title on it.
