Hi, i regularly open and reuse zip ties.

I use a knife and it's hard enough with that fine point. Unless your zip ties have massive openings and lots of slop it would be impossible with a paper clip.

A small flat head screwdriver also works, although the legit handcuffs may be more tamper resistant.

well ive definitely done it with a paper clip on a normal zip tie... the cop ones are a lot thicker so it seem like the tab would be bigger and easier to fuck with...

Hmmm. Maybe it's the brand i have, then.
