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 »
That’s b******t there’s nothing in it
Libtarded.
They’ve got more crime and meaner human beings in Mass. so maybe that’s why?
There is no war on drugs. The DEA and the CIA smuggle them in. Were in Afghanistan for the heroin.
The only war on drugs is against people with chronic pain whom the government goes after so they don’t have to go after criminals. Just like gun control they go after the law abiding Americans
They can never have enough ways to make anyone a criminal.
If true many other states will follow so as to get their hands on as much as they can after all “the citizens don’t own anything” according to leftist lawyers
Your funny

MASSACHUSETTS HAS EARNED THIS….
Another Communist state!
