    breaking zip ties isn’t easy… but if you have a paper clip or something, it’s a simple mechanism and you can lift the little plastic tab and loosen it…
    or melt it with a lighter…

      Use the Heisenberg method, bite a lamp cord with your teeth, use the ends to cause a short burning the zip ties and burning the piss out of your wrists. You’re then free to go hide your methylamine at your car wash.

      Hi, i regularly open and reuse zip ties.

      I use a knife and it’s hard enough with that fine point. Unless your zip ties have massive openings and lots of slop it would be impossible with a paper clip.

        A small flat head screwdriver also works, although the legit handcuffs may be more tamper resistant.

        well ive definitely done it with a paper clip on a normal zip tie… the cop ones are a lot thicker so it seem like the tab would be bigger and easier to fuck with…
