Whoever possesses any key, tool, instrument, device or any explosive suitable for use in breaking into a building, house, trailer, watercraft, aircraft, motor vehicle, railroad car, or any depository designed for the safekeeping of property or any part thereof, with intent to enter any such place and with intent to commit therein a felony or theft, shall be guilty of the offense of possession of burglary tools.
The trier of fact may infer from the possession of a key designed for lock bumping an intent to commit a felony or theft; however, this inference does not apply to any peace officer or other employee of a law enforcement agency, or to person or agency licensed under the Private Detective, Private Alarm, Private Security, Fingerprint Vendor and Locksmith Act of 2004. For the purposes of this section, LOCK BUMPING means a lock picking technique for opening a pin tumbler lock using a specially-crafted bumpkey.
