I dunno about United States but in canada, you get like 3 years in jail for manslouger just by having legal aid... lol canada is alot more leanient towards criminals, Sad but its true...

And most of us like breaking into things using house hold items becuase you can dispost of them later on or even reuse them for your everyday task to cover up any evedance. ie: If you can pick a lock using bread then you can just eat the bread to get rid of the evidance.

I dunno about manslaughter but i'm talking about things like break and enter which in Australia only attracts a good behaviour bond period and a fine usually, also possible community service. So for just picking somebody's lock i can't see anybody in Australia getting a hefty term in prison. More likely to get a good behaviour bond and maybe some community service

and then again, a lot of people said about this and sorry but I'm going to repeat. The whole point of the thread (as stated in the title): Knowing is legal, doing it without permission is illegal.

Like hackers. A lot of people love and find like a hobby hacking, just TO KNOW more about the computer/technology world, but hacking into computers is a problem, there are hackers who just know but don't use his knowledge for helping only, there are other hackers who just love to steal information, etc., it's exactly the same and lockpicking.

EDIT: And everybody (or almost) is correct, Cookie is stating perfectly, knowledge is legal and infiltrating personal stuff is illegal.

Exactly. You pick a lock, you should be prosecuted. period

I remember I picked a lock before. It was one of those cheap ones and I just had a paper clip. It was pretty cool.

I wouldn't mind knowing how to pick a lock. In case I get locked out of my house or something.

anyway i had a few laying around(cheap ones) and i could open them with a paperclip..
The ones with combinations require no skill

a 4 number index : x y w z has 10 000 solutions

x = {0;1;2;3;4;5;6;7;8;9} and each one of the elements has 999 solutions on the following position. But there's one missing, the 000 one..
So : 999 x 10 + 10 (the ten 000 possible ones) = 9990 + 10 = 10 000 ..You've got to try 10000 combinations on a 4 positions-lock if you desperatly want to open it

lol johny ur so full of it lmfao!
any good lockpicker knows to use a damn padlock shims to open a padlock.. hahahahahhahaha

hmm i remember lockpicking being a feature in the anarchists cookbook... along side making bombs and breaking into cars
