The ones against assault and murder but I understand the intent of your question. I think the legal details you are looking for are in the case Katko v. Briney from 1971.
Here’s the Wikipedia link to it but you can find it easily from other sources if you prefer.
It includes any kind of trap that could potentially injure someone or their property (ironically enough). There was a case a few years ago where someone’s political sign was being run over frequently because they lived on a corner of two streets so they put a strip of nails below the sign. Woman came through, ran over the sign and punctured her tires. Homeowner was charged and convicted and also had to pay damages. It was just probation but legally he was liable.
Which federal law are you citing here?
