      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

          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.

        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.

      Plan is not to get her blood tested for drugs and alcohol. Handcuff locks are supposedly easy to pick if she got help there, but they will grab her again obviously. If she can wait until drugs and alcohol leave her system she can beat that rap.

      Of course now she can be charged with more serious charges, felonies even, fleeing and eluding. Michigan is a police state.

        Yeah they’re super easy to pick and they all have the same key. It’s intentional to ensure cops can get out of them and any cop can let anyone out.

        This can and has been utilized at riots in the past

        If she’s flexible enough to escape like that she can probably at least get her arms under her bum to get them in front.

        But then lock picking would be my next hobby.
