Defeating a Car Boot Lock with Plastic Pen!?!?

"It’s always fun watching someone do a real life MacGuyver. This successful attack on a Wheel Clamp Lock using only a plastic pen is 🔥🔥🔥."
Do not do this on your own car when booted. Don't break the law. Pick safely.

[@oldguysrock2170]

I am a retired cop of 30 years. When I first saw my department use the “boot” on parking ticket violators, I cringed. Parking tickets are nothing more than an infraction in the legal scales of justice. To disable a person from being able to operate their car, is flat out wrong. The liability for a city by disabling a car is always a concern. In my opinion, it is wrong. There are better ways to collect delinquent parking fines. Add the unpaid violations onto their yearly registration, or their utility bills, or property tax. If the violator can’t pay his past due tickets, then he won’t get his current registration and he or she now risks getting pulled over for driving with expired registration. Chicken shit piles up and if people don’t take care of infractions, they soon turn into debt and misdemeanors.

Good ideas. 30yr career I'm pretty sure you know what'll work and what won't. Going to school doesn't make a brain surgeon good, experience does.

[@Savedbygracethroughfaith_7]

That is an awesome idea! Wish people would actually take that into consideration.

[@oldguysrock2170]

@Calypso Eros : It’s called personal responsibility. I am against the boot because it prevents people from being able to freely move about in their daily lives as per our Constitution. But people should still be held accountable for things they do wrong. An orderly society works because people can live freely while following laws. Take away order, and you get Portland and Seattle.

[@oldguysrock2170]

@Calypso Eros : You need to move to Portland! As for the fines and penalties, the states, Feds, and local municipalities set the fines. You will find that in states run by Democrats fines and fees are a lot more expensive. Cops do much more than stop people for traffic violations. And yes, I am proud of my 30 year career!

[@oldguysrock2170]

@Calypso Eros : I worked the streets for 30 years in a black & white in LA County. 90% of all cops, I was never in a shooting, I never killed anybody, and I was honored the oath that I took. Cops WERE trained to use discretion and intuition when performing ones duties. But in the modern age of high tech, tech is good for protecting police such as body cams. But, discretion can no longer be used because that can lead to complaints of anything from racism or sexism.

[@jonbottoms8988]

@@Knights2theEnd Very simple. It is a cam lock. They are not hard to pick. Unless it is stamped with Ace 2 (Roman numerals ). You can buy a tubular lock pick. HPC brand is standard. It takes a little practice to get fast at it. I’ve picked hundreds of them. I can open a soda or vending machine Right Now! Or anything with these on them. Or you can cut the face off it and push it through. Or. Lol you can pry that little sissy door open with a large flat head screw driver. Quickly. If you use a HPC pick you can use it to make a key that works the lock. If the parking police have 50 boots. I bet they are all the same key.

If the clamp is gone you have plausible deniability in regards to what happened to the clamp and how it got off your wheel... As you may know it is illegal to damage other peoples property so doing any damage (even a paint chip removed) will become a legal problem...unless the clamp is missing completely...So take it with you and scrap it or put in another lock and use it for yourself...

You know what's faster more fun and gives you better results? A battery-powered angle grinder with a metal cutting disc. You can also use a battery powered sawzall, but more risk to the tire. My truck is full of tools so, I would just laugh if that happened to me. I doubt they could get their boot around my 33-in off-road tires and classic Ford steel rims. I also have a generator in the back in case my batteries are dead and I need to switch to 120 volt power tools. Lol. with the angle grinder you can cut through it in a matter of seconds, and you can cut it up into several little pieces and leave it right there on the road for them to find. 👍

I thought pissing on them right before they come to take them off was I was funny but this is awesome.

[@forrestcason3584]

@Hang Over Gang 4Life lol or just shit on yourself... Yeah I had one of the parking lot guys notice the piss on the boot and I told him it was probably a dog and he said “no it’s human piss” I told him he was probably used to being pissed off and on...

[@del3d]

When I head to a restaurant downtown on a busy Friday evening and I'm so excited that I miss the parking restrictions, I never forget to step out of the car with a plastic pen, a sizeable flathead screwdriver and a fancy multi tool in my dinner jacket pocket.

[@guyrollf8956]

Thanks, I'll have to remember that one. Very helpful and cool.🖖😎👍

[@kevinlampen2364]

Question why did you just heat the end of the pen tube ..push it in let it cool down ....then turn it ... instead of using the tools ...

Cool, but it looks like the hinge-pin side of the cam lock compartment is a weak point. I'm thinking you could get in there much faster with satisfying destruction.

The boot has a serial number and the vehicle has a VIN. When they put these on there is a record of what boot is attached to what car. The city makes money and the tow companies make money. One hell of a racket.

Why do I feel like the lock was unlocked the whole time? Does anyone else feel that way?

[@wherethehoochiesat4210]

You’re right it could’ve been, but tbh those locks open with minimal force and a shoved up pen just might grip it enough, but maybe it was unlocked 🤷🏽‍♂️

[@wherethehoochiesat4210]

2:33 you can hear it unlock

[@uglyfxxx6981]

Its just a cheap ass tab setup. He probably unlocked it. They aren't that difficult to "pick" if that's what you want to call it. I have a key from an old bus terminal locker that works on like 75% of these types of key locks. Bad design.

[@williamnixon3994]

These things are barely locks in the first place, so I find it believable that someone could twist it with a pen

[@thefunstuff6121]

Take it from a experienced lock picker. It was! There is no way that would have worked unless the lock pins were all equal length and then there is basically no point in having a lock.

If he had bought one, he'd have a key and most of those use the same key.

[@channelthree9424]

I used live a short street that had four apartment buildings and a couple of office buildings. Despite all the residents having designated underground parking, a lot of them still parked on the street. Considering the neighborhood, it was very surprising to see the frequency in which people got boots put on their cars. Since you get a warning, all those people should have parked their cars in the building instead of on the street. I lived in “the hood” for many years and almost never saw a car with a boot. I moved to the nicer neighborhood a saw the boot a lot more often and sometimes there were two cars with a boot on the same day. If you saw how short the street was, you’d wonder how could so many people in this little area get a boot so often.

[@geoffdundee124]

I lived in “the hood” for many years and almost never saw a car with a boot......thats because people putting boots on cars would be shot at or burned alive ..they want easy picking so dont go into the hood.

I saw a related hack where a guy carries his own boot around with him in the trunk of his car, parks illegally, and puts his own boot on his own car. Nobody messes with his car because they think it's already been booted.
