lockpicking IS illegal if the intention is to break in, just as it is stated in the law which you quoted.

Ohh your 100% wrong about this
He's 500% correct in that! Breaking in is illegal, it doesn't matter if it was a cheap lock or not. Heck, even if it wasn't locked at all, it is not legal to break in other people's properties...

True, but that certainly DOES NOT make it legal to break those locks!!!

What I meant is, if all your doing is opening the lock, and then closing it again, fine. If you're stealing, far from fine. I didnt mean it to be like that.
Stealing hasn't got anything to do with it. Breaking in on itself is illegal.
