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 »
Dumbass liberals!
So stupid what if you buy a used car and don’t even know it has a secret compartment hence the word “Secret”? 2 years in prison fucking Democrats and their tyranny.
Who needs to live in Mass
Yeah, the war on drugs has worked out great for law enforcement so far hasn’t it?
of course the cops are supporting this look at the revenue they get to keep from auctioning off all the seized property
so if you are a business owner and are transferring large amounts of cash every evening from you business to the night drop you will be arrested, your car confiscated the cash in your hidden safe that you installed in the vehicle is forfeit? you sure are a fucking idiot
Who comes up with this c**p ,What is your govt. doing behind your back while yall are argueing about this stupid
Not caring about your right to privacy because you have nothing to hide, is lime not caring about your freedom of speech because you have nothing to say.
The intent of the 1st amendment was to prohibit government from preventing citizens from communication about tyranny. And to give them an alternative to violence.
The 2nd in case the first didn’t work.
Third to prevent the government from stationing controls on our homes.
The 4th so we have means to hide from the activity that would subvert the tyrants.
The 5th so we wouldn’t have to betray the others.
The 8th so they couldn’t force us to betray the others.
If you base your opinions that the “default” condition of citizens is “guilty” until proven innocent, how can you pretend to support the constitution or the rights it’s supposed to protect?
F**k you nazi
