some crews carry HACKSAWS in their pockets in case the spikes are less than 3 inchs long,they saw horns off.
Even the dumbest deputy would be able to to determine if the rack was sawed off and only the dumbest of the outlaws would try to get away with that. But, then again some bank robbers write their demands on their deposit slip ,so I guess it's possible. but, most of them don't post their violations on a MB like Livbucks.
