That guy scares me, the police need to do something.
General Statute 14-55 stipulates that people can be found guilty of "possession of burglary tools" if they possess "without lawful excuse, any picklock ... or other implement of housebreaking" and the police find them in any building with the intent to commit a felony or larceny. The burden of proof rests on the state to prove that the defendant had "no lawful excuse" for possessing the picklock, however, rather than the defendant having to prove he had a legal right to possess it.
Reminds me of the guy who was arrested for possession of "Burglary Tools" in North Carolina.QuoteGeneral Statute 14-55 stipulates that people can be found guilty of "possession of burglary tools" if they possess "without lawful excuse, any picklock ... or other implement of housebreaking" and the police find them in any building with the intent to commit a felony or larceny.

What if he had a tennis ball?
OK, hadn't thought of that. Might come in handy.
