Sound on for important commentary from the videographer
I mean, that’s seems like they should give her that. Fair’s fair.
I agree, it’s basically an extension of finders keepers that if you lose something it isn’t yours
I’m impressed how lightly she managed to get to the ground.
Agreed, she somehow used her hip bone to pivot or something? I thought she was going to go head first but try to hook her foot over the window to ease down
Definitely–she balanced her weight on her hips using the top of the window. Must have been uncomfortable.
I was worried she was going to fall headfirst on the pavement.
Practice?
Wonder how long she stays free and how long she stays handcuffed
I think they took like 20 hours to track her down again but they reportedly got her:( I’m curious what she did about the handcuffs too, I don’t think I have anything handy at home that could cut them or file them down efficiently
You can just buy keys.
I actually have a few that I keep in my protest bag.
I also have a couple pairs of cuffs.
Ohh I should order some replicas for my key collection
So I had in my mind what I thought a handcuff key looked like when I went to look it up and then the results that I saw did not match what I thought it was going to look like.
Really? They all use the same keys? Where did you order yours from? Wouldn’t mind adding some to my own protest bag.
Yes, they all use the same keys. You can buy legit handcuffs off amazon and they come with keys. You can also practice picking handcuffs while wearing them with a bobby pin or paper clip, its fairly easy. Theyre not really designed to be difficult to remove, theyre just designed to temporarily restrain.
I would imagine having a less than honest friend with bolt cutters would suffice with at least bringing your hand usage back, then from there you can try to find something else later on.
A good set of bolt cutters could definitely go through the bracelet part, too.
Bolt cutters are a lot harder to use than people think. But I think the bracelet part might be reasonably doable.
Note to self: figure out which of my friends have bolt cutters
I have various different sizes of bolt cutters. I also have an angle grinder.
What I saw was that she was found with cuffs still on
the locks are quite basic though, literally pickable with a hair pin
Lockpicking lawer has a video on youtube about standard police handcuffs. It is not a long video.
I believe that if you defeat a cop in battle then you can take his badge and gun and become the new cop. So its only consistent that if you free yourself while in custody, you are innocent of the crime
Step 1 - fart a lot and get them to open the window.
Impressive.
What do you suppose her plan is after this?
Plan is not to get her blood tested for drugs and alcohol. Handcuff locks are supposedly easy to pick if she got help there, but they will grab her again obviously. If she can wait until drugs and alcohol leave her system she can beat that rap.
Of course now she can be charged with more serious charges, felonies even, fleeing and eluding. Michigan is a police state.
Knitting, jigsaw puzzles, change the oil in the car … something requiring the use of her hands, I expect.
If she’s flexible enough to escape like that she can probably at least get her arms under her bum to get them in front.
But then lock picking would be my next hobby.
