Wonder how long she stays free and how long she stays handcuffed
I think they took like 20 hours to track her down again but they reportedly got her:( I’m curious what she did about the handcuffs too, I don’t think I have anything handy at home that could cut them or file them down efficiently
You can just buy keys.
I actually have a few that I keep in my protest bag.
I also have a couple pairs of cuffs.
Ohh I should order some replicas for my key collection
So I had in my mind what I thought a handcuff key looked like when I went to look it up and then the results that I saw did not match what I thought it was going to look like.
Really? They all use the same keys? Where did you order yours from? Wouldn't mind adding some to my own protest bag.
Yes, they all use the same keys. You can buy legit handcuffs off amazon and they come with keys. You can also practice picking handcuffs while wearing them with a bobby pin or paper clip, its fairly easy. Theyre not really designed to be difficult to remove, theyre just designed to temporarily restrain.
Lockpicking lawer has a video on youtube about standard police handcuffs. It is not a long video.
the locks are quite basic though, literally pickable with a hair pin
I would imagine having a less than honest friend with bolt cutters would suffice with at least bringing your hand usage back, then from there you can try to find something else later on.
A good set of bolt cutters could definitely go through the bracelet part, too.
Bolt cutters are a lot harder to use than people think. But I think the bracelet part might be reasonably doable.
Note to self: figure out which of my friends have bolt cutters
I have various different sizes of bolt cutters. I also have an angle grinder.
Angle grinder is great to have.
What I saw was that she was found with cuffs still on
