The same can be said about murder or... stealing.Tribalism and prejudice are innate in humans, in some ways they are beneficial traits in evolutionary terms, whether they are ethical or not.

Anybody know how US law defines automated sentry guns? Even if it was just a paintball gun loaded with pepper balls, I think it would have the desired effect.
any concealed or camouflaged device designed to cause bodily injury when triggered by any action of a person making contact with the device.
If a person sets up such a trap to protect his/her property, he/she will be liable for any injury or death even to an unwanted intruder such as a burglar. It is illegal to set a booby trap on one's own property to prevent intruders.

A clearly marked turret that looks like a turret is pretty menacing anyway, I don't see why you'd want to hide it. In fact, putting a fake gun barrel and a laser pointer would probably be just as effective.ramses wrote:So don't disguise it, and don't let them touch it.

There was a case a few a few years ago. A ham radio operator had someone try to steal his 2 way radio out of his car. The thief tried to cut the transmitter power supply wire with his pocket knife and was killed when he cut into a several hundred volt line.ramses wrote: boobytraps are illegal internationally (geneva convention), and are defined as:any concealed or camouflaged device designed to cause bodily injury when triggered by any action of a person making contact with the device.If a person sets up such a trap to protect his/her property, he/she will be liable for any injury or death even to an unwanted intruder such as a burglar.

So what does the Geneva Convention say about landmines?Any concealed or camouflaged device designed to cause bodily injury when triggered by any action of a person making contact with the device
I'm surprised that in a country when some states allow you to shoot dead an intruder, you can be sued for having hundreds of volts running through a cable attached to a radio.Technician1002 wrote:[

The kid's family sued. The ham won because the car window was clearly marked "Danger High Voltage" and the radio was clearly marked "Disconnect the power and discharge the high voltage before servicing" and "Service by Authorized Personnel Only" The car was locked. The family lost for the same reason they can't win in cases of copper theft from locked energized power substations. It was marked and locked. It was not a trap. The radio operator was not required to leave the trunk mounted power supply shut off when not in use.
More thieves should remove themselves from the gene pool. Warning linked photo may be NSFW.

Yes, I'm aware the family was able to sue. My argument was that it was surprising they were able to sue considering laws in some American states that allow you to shoot dead intruders.Technician1002 wrote:The family was able to sue.
IMHO, if the car was unlocked the family still shouldn't have been able to sue/still should've lost the case. It's okay to steal the radio from a car if the car is unlocked, it's fair game? One is not allowed to shoot a trespasser dead if the house is unlocked?*It was locked
The locked car was the key in this case and all the wiring was under the dash and not exposed. The kid had to pull out the wire to cut it.While putting up a sign to warn children regarding the danger of the land may exempt the landowner from liability, it will not work in all situations.[citation needed] This is particularly true when the child cannot read the sign. Usually the landowner must take some more affirmative steps to protect children.
