Pickpocketing is a feature and an action in Jailbreak which can be performed by clicking and holding, or holding "E" behind a Police Officer.
Overview
Once a pickpocket is complete, which will take 4 seconds, the player will obtain either a keycard, pistol, or donut as a criminal or prisoner. If an innocent prisoner performs a pickpocket, they immediately become guilty and vulnerable to arrest. Beware, police will know if they get pickpocketed, as a notification would appear in the top middle of their screen reading “[Player's Username] just stole your [Item]".
Items
There are 3 items criminals/prisoners can obtain by pickpocketing a police officer:
Keycard
Commonly, if players pickpocket an officer, they will get a Keycard, unless the police officer has already been pickpocketed an odd amount of times. If the police have been pickpocketed an odd amount of times, you will get a pistol. If you pickpocket a police officer and receive a keycard, they can still open/close keycard-required doors.
Pistol
Sometimes, If players pickpocket an officer, they may get a Pistol instead of a keycard. If players get a Pistol, it means the police they pickpocket has already been pickpocketed an odd amount of times. If players pickpocket a Police Officer and receive a Pistol, that police officer still can use their Pistol. If you obtain a Pistol, it is best to shoot the police because they will get a notification; they may drop a keycard when killed.
Donut
Rarely, players can get a Donut from a pickpocket. As of the Surprise/Bonus Update, donuts now heal players, so it's very useful to have.
