Nope. Using it to get out of handcuffs put on you by a police officer is though.

Darling, there is a simple delicious test for you to find out. Go to a police gear supply or military surplus store and see if they would sell one to you. If so, then it must be legal. If they sell the keys, they probably also sell the handcuffs as well, which are totally yummy!

No, carrying a handcuff is legal, but not a very good idea if you are in jail or are in custody. Should you commonly carry one, and find yourself in police custody, you should immediately notify the arresting officer that you have it in your possession. There is no charge associated with possession of a handcuff key.

no, carrying a key is not illeagal, but if you attempt/attempt and succeed of breaking away from a cop, you will have committed a felony, which is 2 years for resisting. I am a cop, so i suggest that you dont try it.

Nope. Using it to escape from police custody if you're arrested is illegal, though.

yes. not only is it illegal you could get into a lot of trouble is you were arrested and you got out of your cuffs. you would be charged with evading arrest on top of your first charge and the judges don't like people who try to escape. p.s. I'm a cop so i should know

If you anticipate using it to escape incarceration, yes.
It is legal to buy one for personal use.
