New penalties for car key hacking gear

The law expands the crime of having burglary tools. It now covers key programming or duplicating devices and signal extenders used with keyless cars. You can be charged with a misdemeanor if you have these tools and intend to break into a building, railroad car, aircraft, vessel, trailer coach, or vehicle. It is also a misdemeanor to make, alter, or repair such tools when you know they will be used in a crime. The law defines these devices so police and courts can apply the rule clearly.
