Not really a catch22, just a fancy way of saying that possession of burglary tools is a Class 5 felony.
Problem is, a crowbar could be a burglary tool, so if I merely have a crowbar on me, by the wording of that code, that means that I have intent to burgle so it's a class5 felony. Michael P.

The possession of such burglarious tools, implements or outfit by any person other than a licensed dealer, shall be prima facie evidence of an intent to commit burglary, robbery or larceny. That sounds like unadulterated "Comma 22" to me: possession of burglarious tools is a felony *only* with intent to commit burglary, *but* the possession of burglarious tools shall be prima facie evidence of an intent to commit burglary. Why do I need a driver's license to drive a car, but I only need to be elected to forge such legal masterpieces? Ciao! Remo
