Hi,

Automatic center punches (the spring loaded ones.......) are popular for
breaking the toughened windows of someone elses'car before driving it
away..........
I have a friend in the police, honest!
They sell a version of these here (the UK), in car accesory shops, for
breaking a car door window so you can extricate yourself from a crashed
car. Definitely not illegal here :-)

The future was never like this!
as well as carry a center punch...
Now I'm baffled. I can see reasons for banning lock picks and police
scanners, even though I vehemently disagree with those reasons. But
why on earth should center punches be illegal? I don't carry one
routinely, but if I'm going somewhere that I expect to need one,
I carry it.
