Can anyone conform this?
Hodge twins claim Liberty safe gave safe codes of J6 protestor upon his arrest 8/30/23. |

Basically any company will do that when required via legal means. This isn't even slightly implausible.
|

They probable served Liberty Safes a subpoena to go along with the search warrant they had to search his house. That way they didn't have to have someone drill and destory the safe.

Subpoenas are a thing
I wouldn't look down on a company obeying a judge's order for a legal defendant. I know, I know, freedom uber alles and shit |
|
My question is how? Either the guy I purchased my safe from lied to me, or is a damn good dealer.
When he delivered my safe he told me there was no combo set and we came up with a series of numbers and that’s what opens my safe. |

How does liberty know the safe code?
I have a liberty safe, but I did not purchase it directly from liberty? I'm asking for a friend of course. |

If liberty had a backdoor into the lock, why do they pay a locksmith to break your lock, doesn't make sense, they could save themselves a lot of money and headache...

I hate to say this, but in the face of a subpoena, the information is being given up one way or another. I wouldn't expect any different out of whatever company you use for safes.

The only people exempt from a subpoena is the DoJ. "Oh look, a Congressional subpoena. Don't even put it in the recycle bin. Trash it."

When you buy a safe does it have the combo in the owners manual?
If so the company has that info to cross refference with the name & serial #. Of course if you paid cash and didn't fill out the warranty card or bought 2nd hand it reduces the chance of a friendly hand over. I changed my combo the very next day ( as soon as I could get a guy out there) So no they don't have my current combo just the one that was listed in the manual. |
|
They’d get in the safe either way. It all just depends on the time it takes, the feds would have all year.
|

They have time for this but not the 22,000 classified emails on Hillary's server or Hunter's laptop scandals.
There is no honor in working for federal law enforcement. |

Quoted: Quoted: Basically any company will do that when required via legal means. This isn't even slightly implausible. Even Apple refused to unlock a phone. There's no comparison there. The feds didn't ask Liberty to break into the safe. They would have had a warrant for information they may have had - the combination of the safe when it was shipped. In the case of Apple, Apple doesn't have your passcode. The feds can present a warrant for it, but Apple doesn't have it. The feds could then demand that Apple break into the phone with brute force or a backdoor, or whatever. And I think most of those demands would fail to pass muster in courts. And, it doesn't even matter, because LE can be inside a Liberty safe in five minutes. "Oh, no, Bob! A Liberty safe! What are we going to do?" |

I thought everyone changed the combos to their safe every few years to avoid this problem?
It's not that hard to do. |
|
I can't speak for all safes, but the majority of digital code safes are shipped with a combination that is unique to the serial number...as long as they know the SN, they can release the combination. I know this, because I've had to request them myself from both Mesa and Sentry. Now, I am not sure they could do anything without the SN....or, if I'd changed the combination from the original.

Now the digital ones,no you can get into them even with a dead battery. My friend has had to call twice. Another reason i skipped the digital pad. |

My liberty safe keypad stopped working and they sent me a code to unlock it. It worked.

Well yeah, that second stack-on cabinet in the corner had all of my powder and primers in it. The door was a little bent, so it rubbed and sparked if you didn't open it just right. If y'all had only asked me before you had tried to open it...

This story sounds funky. I have bought 4 safes. Each time, the installer asks what combo I want. He sets the combo, and leaves. No records kept.

A construction gas powered abrasive wheel saw will get into any liberty safe in a few minutes .

The first thing I did when I bought mine was reset the combo to my own numbers.
