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 »
No warrant no search , just like our Houses
Big Brother is watching.
It’s seems more and more states are violating the Constitution and trying to take away more of our rights and freedom. They’re becoming communist states. This has to stop, people back our President, he is fighting the NWO trying to keep us a free nation.
Another unconstitutional LIBERAL ploy
No search without a warrant enough said
This is the most ridiculous article I’ve ever read. How can you make a secret hidden compartment on a vehicle after it has been manufactured? Looks like it would be easy to find and therefore not so secret and hidden.
Bunch of Massholes!
Can’t stop the government from making a profit from you.
Where Freedom started what a joke
Democrat eh?
