What are burglary tools?Matthew Freeman has been charged with breaking and entering and possession of burglary tools, police spokeswoman Debbie George said.
Anything that could be used to gain entry I guess. Does this mean I can't have a toolbox in my truck since I'm not a licensed dealer of tools? I'd be assumed to have intent to commit burglary? :?Thundar wrote:What are burglary tools?Matthew Freeman has been charged with breaking and entering and possession of burglary tools, police spokeswoman Debbie George said.
Could be a number of things. For instance, if the guy has a history of burglary and he gets caught with screwdrivers, a crowbar and a hammer in his car, they can reasonably charge him with possession of burglary tools.Thundar wrote:What are burglary tools?Matthew Freeman has been charged with breaking and entering and possession of burglary tools, police spokeswoman Debbie George said.
That says to me that merely having fairly common tools in your trunk makes you guilty.The possession of such burglarious tools, implements or outfit by any person other than a licensed dealer, shall be prima facie evidence of an intent to commit burglary, robbery or larceny.
Its what I like to call, a "piling on" law. As if charging someone with Armed Robbery isn't enough, then they have to add Using a FirearmDuring the Commission of aFelony,...Oh and you had a crow bar in your trunk? Well, that's Possession of Burglary Tools too.
What's wrong is I carry a "get home kit" in the vehicle that has many items that are "prima facie evidence of an intent to commit burglary, robbery or larceny" when the only intent was to have the means to extricate myself or my vehicle from obstacles that nature or malevolent men have thrown onto the roadway. If the cops ever combine my obstacle removal tools and my gardening implements I am going to be going away for a long time unless I can mount an affirmative defense after being busted at some drunk driver roadblock not for DWI but for possession of burglar tools.fully_armed_biker wrote:Its what I like to call, a "piling on" law.

What is wrong with charging someone with every offense that they allegedly violated? There's actually good reasoning behind that. Its a normal thing that is done by every prosecutor in the land.
If some dirtbag broke into your home in the middle of the night, raped your wife, shot and killed you and then assaulted your child, you think that he should only be charged with the murder as its the most serious of the offenses? I'm lost here....
