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 »

massholes
You are dumber than a box of rocks
What rock do you live under
Totally unconstitutional! The state cannot legislate how any privately owned property can be used or changed.
My question is.. How many used vehicles are sold each day? Just imagine how many unsuspecting customers would face jail time…
You have no idea what you’re talking about!!
Overreach much! Vehicles are private property & any government “be it federal , local or state should have no say at all as to what You do with Your property
I keep a fully loaded “registered” firearm & extra ammo in mine so speak for yourself
F**k um
