|
| 7 | | Sec. 19-2. Possession of burglary tools.
|
| 8 | | (a) A person commits
possession of burglary tools when he
|
| 9 | | or she possesses any key, tool, instrument, device, or any |
| 10 | | explosive, suitable for
use in breaking into a building, |
| 11 | | housetrailer, watercraft, aircraft, motor
vehicle, railroad |
| 12 | | car, or any
depository designed for the
the safekeeping of |
| 13 | | property, or any part thereof,
with intent to enter that place |
| 14 | | and with intent to commit therein a
felony or theft. The trier |
| 15 | | of fact may infer from the possession of a key designed for |
| 16 | | lock bumping an intent to commit a felony or theft; however, |
| 17 | | this inference does not apply to any peace officer or other |
| 18 | | employee of a law enforcement agency, or to any person or |
| 19 | | agency licensed under the Private Detective, Private Alarm, |
| 20 | | Private Security, Fingerprint Vendor, and Locksmith Act of |
| 21 | | 2004. For the purposes of this Section, "lock bumping" means a |
| 22 | | lock picking technique for opening a pin tumbler lock using a |
| 23 | | specially-crafted bumpkey. |
