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 »
Kathryn, since January 20, 2017, exactly what rights have Americans lost.? I would appreciate you making a list. Last I checked, it was the democrats that wanted to do away with the 2nd amendment, not the republicans. It’s democrats that want to limit free speech and set up ” safe spaces” where certain speech is not allowed. Have women lost the right to abortion.? Please Kathryn, exactly what rights have we lost.? I’m waiting.
Kathryn Johnson no where does it say you are joking

Republicans will do it too..Democrats are Dicks Republicans are Pricks..both parties suck…
It hasn’t passed yet and may not?
Far too many states have governments with ravenous appetites for power and a seeming desire to turn two-way dialogues into a one-way dictatorships where the nanny-states jam their versions of morality down our throats as the One and Only True Way and all must capitulate….. or else.
“The privacy and dignity of our citizens are being whittled away by sometimes imperceptible steps. Taken individually, each step may be of little consequence. But when viewed as a whole, there begins to emerge a society quite unlike any we have seen – a society in which government may intrude into the secret regions of a person’s life.”
―William O. Douglas
