Does anyone know if there're any restriction regarding lock picks in singapore? Was thinking of bringing some with me. I'm a hobbist lock picker, not a locksmith.
I have seen this part of the law:
Possession of housebreaking previmplementsnext or offensive weapons
22. —(1) Any person who is found —
(a) armed with any dangerous or offensive instrument without lawful authority or a lawful purpose;
(b) having his face covered or otherwise found disguised with intent to commit any offence; or
(c) armed with any article or instrument for use in the course of or in connection with any housebreaking,
shall be guilty of an offence and shall be liable on conviction to imprisonment for a term not exceeding 2 years; and any instrument or article found in the possession of that person shall be forfeited.
It seems that the main part here is proving intent, that the person carrying lock picks was going to use them, was had already used them in a break in. Would that be right? Thanks.
