Worth to specify exactly where in the world you make this claim.
In a lot of countries, carrying around tools that can be used exclusively for burglary can be illegal, and also picking locks (even your own) can be illegal unless you have a license.
As always, it depends on where you are :) Best to lookup your local laws if you're a person who like to carry lock picks around.
Just as an example: in Alberta, Canada, it is illegal to carry lock picks without a license, no matter for what purpose.

- voxic11 3y agoIn the United States its always legal to carry lockpicks if you have no criminal intent. But there are a few states where you can be arrested and must prove your lack of criminal intent to avoid a conviction (carrying lockpicks in those states is prima facie evidence of criminal intent so the ordinary burden of proof is reversed).
