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 »
Wait and see. (R) Jim Hughes senator sponsored this legislation in Ohio and (R) Governor Jon Kasich supported and passed it already. Test case is in front of courts now. Look at Republicans for this.
Why doesn’t the uneducated proposer of said bill educate their self and cut the problem off at the root ?
Look to the Federal US government and the truth will set you free or imprison you or even get you killed for knowing the truth!
You must only read or watch liberal media to say that. Try sticking to real facts and not the liberal left false narrative.
