      Bolt cutters are not a key, they are a method of bypassing the lock. they still need a warrant to do that, which is the point.

        The laws don’t exist though because they’re so easily circumvented. If you AES256 encrypt something today, there’s an extremely lonely chance they can’t crack it. For years.

        With a padlock they can just pull out the cutters and they’re done.

        I’m just referring to your point on why there are no laws against padlocks in this context.
