Hi Garri,

I see that you are getting plenty of replies!
Here in Queensland, Australia it is a different story in each and every State.
I will quote the Queensland Weapons Act 1990,
Section 67 Possessing and acquiring restricted items
(1) A person must not, without reasonable excuse, possess or acquire a restricted item.
(2) For subsection (1), it is not a reasonable excuse to possess or acquire a restricted item for crowd or traffic control.
(3) In this section- "restricted item" means an item prescribed as a restricted item under the Weapons Categories Regulation 1997.

Under the Weapons Categories Regulation 1997
Section 9 Restricted items (Act, s 67)
The following items are restricted items for section 67-3 of the Act-
(a) handcuffs, thumbcuffs or other similar restraints.

What all of this simply means, is that you take a chance in collecting restricted items, unless you can show proof of your intent.

All the best

Steve

Possessing old (or probably new also) handcuffs is also illegal in China.
