Not really a catch22, just a fancy way of saying that possession of burglary tools is a Class 5 felony.

 Problem is, a crowbar could be a burglary tool, so if I merely have a crowbar on me, by the wording of that code, that 
means that I have intent to burgle so it's a class5 felony.

Code of Virginia - Section 18.2-94 - Possession of burglarious tools, etc.If

any person have in his possession any tools, implements or outfit, with intent

to commit burglary, robbery or larceny, upon conviction thereof he shall be

guilty of a Class 5 felony. The possession of such burglarious tools,

implements or outfit by any person other than a licensed dealer, shall be prima

facie evidence of an intent to commit burglary, robbery or larceny.

That sounds like unadulterated "Comma 22" to me:
possession of burglarious tools is a felony *only* with intent to commit burglary,
*but* the possession of burglarious tools shall be prima facie evidence of an intent to commit burglary.

Why do I need a driver's license to drive a car, but I only need to be elected to forge such
legal masterpieces?
