lockpicking down under

[franticpirell]

Hey everyone. I'm new to this forum, and had a question. I live in sydney, australia, and have seen a few other guys in the forums who are also from aus.
I just bought my first SouthOrd pick set off the internet. It should come probably in a week. I'm into lockpicking as a hobbie and not for a breaking & entering techique. Just wondering if I would get into any trouble with customs or if I would be in trouble with the police if they find me carrying it (I would need to drive from my PO Box to home and I could be pulled over for a RBT). I thought some of you might have had some simular experiences? thanks a lot.

What's an RBT?

RBT: Random Breath Test

I bought my picks from lockpickshop.com and had no troubles with
customs. as far as we non-lawyers can determine, it's not illegal to
posess lockpicks in australia, regardless of whether you're a smith or
not. now the chances of you being pulled over for a RBT and the officer
giving it to you happens to ask to search your bag or glove compartment
is incredibly slim.

welcome to the site and happy pickings!

ooooo, nasty... as I'm outnumbered by the NSW'ers here I'm not going to bite on that one, I'll just celebrate quietly by myself....
