I doubt a thief would out themselves over a booby trap law because then that is an admission they were stealing the sign.

I take it you're not familiar with burglars who have sued homeowner's over injuries sustained while breaking in?

Silly, if injuries lead to lawsuits, then that just means they need bigger traps!

In Iceland if your committing a crime you can't sue.

It does occur rarely but the anecdotes are twisted over the years like urban legends.

The skylight story is a kid was supposedly trying to redirect a flood light at a school to play basketball and he fell through a skylight that was painted over black

A secret between two people is best kept when one of them is dead.

Heard this from a cop after my cousin's house got broken into.

Also said "if someone is breaking into your home keep in mind that a dead man is less likely to sue you than a live one."

Love rural NC cops.

That's why you make the first shot count.

I'm not even talking about defense related injuries (though those get sued for as well, and also families sue if their criminal family member dies).

But I'm talking about, like, suing if he cuts himself on the window he broke through or ridiculous crap like that.

well if they have medical bills and you're liable through either negligence or you actually get charged with assault they can recover against you, look up the law in your state

I've had a finger snapped in one of those things. It hurts like hell, but no permanent damage. How is this different from an electrical buzz? Maybe us MAGA folks should have a thread on this. Seriously, because the election is near and we need to be able to fight back without some lefty activist judge wanting us dead.

actually just found out from my professor that you cannot use booby traps at all in the defense of real property, you would be liable for a tortious cause of action made me think of this post
