Are you allowed to have a crowbar in your car in Australia?

Answer 1

In Australia, it is generally legal to have a crowbar in your car for legitimate purposes, such as mechanical work or emergencies. However, it is important to ensure that you are not carrying it with the intent to use it as a weapon, as this could lead to legal consequences. It is always advisable to check local laws and regulations regarding the carrying of tools in your vehicle to avoid any issues.

Answer 2

Yes. There is absolutely nothing wrong with carrying a crowbar around.

Although such action could cause you to be treated suspiciously by police if you are near a crime scene, the act of carrying around a crowbar is not illegal.

It should be noted that, while a crowbar in the boot with other tools is quite legal, a crowbar laid alongside the driver's seat may take some explaining and could be deemed an offensive implement. But on its own, it is unlikely to cause problems.
