[1570] My Viewer Broke The Law… Please Don’t.

Sending a written signed confession along with the physical evidence to a lawyer just for kicks might not be the most brilliant idea...

LPL: argues legality of bypassing a specific lock Also LPL: Anyway since we already have it here...

Ah I've gotten one of these locks. They mistakenly put this lock on my locker when I was renting a storage unit. Not only did they put the lock on my unit, but they also took pictures of everything in my unit so they could auction it off. It was 2 days away from auction. I checked my locker monthly. Turns out, the guy next to me was the actual unit that hadn't paid their bills. From my understanding, if they sold my stuff, they'd say "Oops. That sucks for you." Never renting a storage locker ever again.

It's interesting that removing the lock is a felony in the US whilst in my country placing that lock is a felony. The renter has the right to remove that lock even when having missed a payment.

He committed at least four felonies……but before he goes to jail let’s see what it takes to get this open!!!!!😊

I choose to charitably interpret this as “John is the manager, and wants to see how good his locks are.”

Because of this channel, I learned to lockpick. It took me a few weeks to get comfortable with the various common locks used today but, after a little practice, I got good enough to pick most locks within a minute or so. My wife was confused why I'd "waste my time" learning this skill. In the past few years, I've helped a couple of people get into their cars, helped numerous people with their padlocks they'd lost keys for, and helped several people get into their homes. I think the day I picked our own front door when we got locked out was when she finally admitted it's a useful skill to have.

Part of me does kind of want to see a scenario where the lock is picked, the unit emptied, the lock replaced and then the manager auctions off whats inside, only for them to open the door of an empty unit 😅😅

Plot twist: John is actually a manager of a self storage place and wanted to see how easy or hard his locks are to pick

Every time we get to hear LPL actually be a lawyer is a good day indeed.

You know what's really "fun"?: Watching a locksmith open your front door with a plastic sheet and billing you 80 bucks for it... Only thing I can complain about is not having such a plastic sheet at hand, not being able to pick locks (picking a lock with a paperclip really is hard) and/or being dumb enough to forget the darned keys in the first place😆

Locks aren't made to keep a thief out, they're made to keep an honest man honest

So many good stories could begin with "John however chose a different route that involved At Least 4 felonies"

This locks security is 100% in the extra laws you break circumventing it.

Four felonies! Is that a record for the most illegal lock submitted to this lawyer??

I’d make sure my fingerprints aren’t on that lock when I send it back for sure!!

Come on guys, he's the Lock-Picking LAWYER. Don't implicate him in a crime.

Things that only happen on the internet: stealing a lock to send it to a lawyer that picks locks in his spare time for an audience of hundreds of thousands of people Edit: to people saying his audience is millions I know he has 4 million something subs I just went off of average views lol. Thanks for the likes though one of my top comments ever🙏

Very good advice. I am teaching myself to be a Pentester/cybersecurity and have loved your videos and learned a lot. Two times I have been reminded to not display what I have learned. 1. My office requires a fob key to get in, I don't have one, and the bathroom is outside of our office. I got tired of waiting to get let in and disturbing people who were working, so I took a magazine to the bathroom with me, and when I came back I put it between the office doors, flicked it at the motion detector, and let myself in. Overjoyed at my success, I showed a video of me doing that to a coworker, and then 3 other people started doing that. STOP. YOU ARE GONNA GET ME IN TROUBLE. 2. Somebody I know REALLY wanted to record their favorite band, so I spoofed an email for them pretending to be the band (authority) and instructed the venue to let him in. The venue agreed, and the band (who had been unresponsive) finally spoke up and said "what the hell? I don't know who that is!". Well, my friend didn't want to let it go and kept wanting to try and argue his way in, despite me saying to STOP, THIS IS ENTERING FELONY TERRITORY AND YOU WILL LOSE YOUR RETIREMENT. Thank you for the reminder. I think we just get excited sometimes and need to be told to calm down.

I miss ol Bill I hope he is doing well.
