I’d like to think that hand cuffs have a better lock than that. I could fabricate that key in under an hour with a file.
But could you do it with your hands behind your back?
No, they don’t have a better lock than that. I can “fabricate” a key for cuffs in about 2 seconds in the form of a hairpin… a paperclip is a little soft to be effective. Note: I have a hobby of picking locks; they are like puzzles you can’t see.
your awesome. I been waiting for my uncle to teach me how to crack safes for awhile now, I love having these kind of talents. I love the ‘like a puzzle you cant see’ perfect description.
My guess he was high on marijuana when apprehended.
Big whoopie
Since he seems to be in perfect health with no physically obvious signs of illness, you might be right!
Wheeeeeedoagies! Yahooo!
Itd Humboldt county that’s a given anymore
Handcuff keys are simple & universal by design, so any LEO can unlock them.
You need to clean your hidden handcuff key every now and then.
