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 »
Another overreach of government. When will people start standing up for their rights?
That is a communist state. We need to turn this country around now.
Democrats feel they know what is right and best for you…..
JOHNSON you’re a liberal brain dead idiot
More intrusion.
Idiot! Manufactures already build them with them. My pick up has one.
The statists sponsor laws to prohibit certain things in the name of “protection” of the people, but the real entity they want to protect is the corrupt, self-entitled and treacherous government bureaucrats and politicians. These types of laws are antithetical to a free republic. They are the foundation of a technocratic control and surveillance grid police state run for and in behalf of tbe transnational corporations and privately owned international banks.
F*CKING COMMUNISTS
Oh look! A fucking tyrant cop or cop groupie.
More total b******t from the new fascists, the dems. What if someone buys a used vehicle? Are they responsible for a hidden compartment the previous owner installed? The left are tyrants . When I die I hope I don’t vote demwit.
