Could have used a cop tech advisor


Goof: When the cuffs came off in the final court hearing, they were on backwards. The keyhole should be on the outside facing the officer. At least they got the Motorola HT200 radios right. Still, a good story.

The way they show it in th movie would be the better way to do it acutally. It would be virtually impossible for the person who is in the cuffs to pick the lock if it is on the inside. Hewould have to somehow get his fingers with the picking device twisted to the inside of hte cuffs, rather than just a simple bending of the fingers to get it to reach it on the outside.

That doesn't make sense. I just performed your version with my own hands cuffed behind me; my fingers bend more naturally inward than they would to reach up top to a keyhole facing up/out.
