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 »
If this is the case then let the$#%&!@*legislators pay the taxes and insurance on what they seem to think is their property
quit electing idiots and you wont see these idiotic laws
…and they call US fascists.
They don’t want you having a secret compartment in your car because of drugs but yet they want to have buildings staffed with doctors etc so that people can “safely” shoot up their illegal drugs???? Makes perfect sense to me.
Another reason not to live there
what drugs are you smoking? Republicans take away rights? Are you a huge moron or what? Look it up lady nearly every democrat controlled city etc… for example CHICAGO has extremely strict gun laws yet high crime rates…. THEY are they ones lobbying to take guns away hmmmm trampeling rights much? It is the democrats, liberals, antifa, PC culture that are hindering free speech on college campuses around the nation.. So go back in the IGNORANT hole you crawled from
NO ITS TIME TO THROW POLITICIANS THAT MAKE TYRANNICAL UNJUST LAWS IN JAIL…
Government overreach
