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 »
Is there anything that’s not against the law in Ma?
Watch out, Larry!
Totally Stupid , Why are these unamerican idiots allowed to make up any stupid law they want , Put before the citizens , Not these money grubbing morons !!!!
Like they said about the law in Romania before communism fell, ” if it is not specifically PERMITTED by fearless leader, it is strictly forbidden.” The first place I would check for hidden compartments would be all state and municiple vehicles, law enforcement specifically. That seem to operate outside suspicion, but could easily use vehicles to move contraband under many auspices as they have much more contact with those handling contraband outside the law. Guns, drugs, dope money,, destructive devices, users, dealers.
Bwahahaha
That’s where I kept my spare key! Guess I’ll hafta create a new hideyhole!
Washington is following – Wyoming is looking better and better.
Next MA is going to say if you have your curtains drawn on your house they have a right to search. Apparently you must be hiding something or doing something illegal. Does this include a magnetic hide a key. And do i have to remove my shower curtain also
I guess people from, MASSACHUSETTS will have to sew up their assholes before they can drive.
going to have to quit calling the Dems liberals..they are facist. Passing laws for people they exempt themselves from..passing taxes upon taxes without the vote of the people to further their own agendas. Here in CA especially…the pass taxes for infrastructure and divert those funds to hire attorneys for illegals and their sanctuary cities. They pass a gun law for the people but exempt themselves ..just like they did with Obamacare..Do as i say not as I do. And anyone who can not see what is happening in Venezuela with this faux socialism is what is starting to happen here under these leaders is blind. California now wants to leave the US and do what? Become its own 3rd world country like venezuela?
