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 »

Absolute Power Corrupts Absolutely. Feel sorry for those poor folks living in mass of two peaks, used to live in new hampshire, (back in the day it was still a decent place to live and some might argue it still is) however the truth here is a simple one when those who lead abuse the powers that the people “lend” them it is incumbent on the people to rescind that power by voting.
Mass has always been a police state.Full of liberal massholes.
Had a friend going to buy something big for his business and they found over $20,000.00 cash in his car and confiscated it all. It took over a year and lawyer fees to get it back and he showed he had a business license and was on business.
