What are "legal" in-home strategies vs. burglars?
Question:Besides, or in addition to, buying expensive home protection systems, what kind of things are legal inside your home to trip up/capture/ intruders. Are there non-lethal booby-traps that are legal?
Answers:
non lethal, non harming, catch and release technology...
hmmm. i did see an entry way system that captured criminals in a bullet proof 4 foot by 4 foot entry way. if they didn't enter a code. system calls alarm company with photo capture technology. alarm company can remote release to police while you are away.
same as locking the armed robber in a convenience store till the cops arrive while the clerk is in a bullet proof counter area.
other ideas...
other idea is stinky... literally. aerosols that smell bad or are noxious in quantities. set them up to deploy if you are not the one who is in your house. it will run them off
spray marker Bobbie traps with permanent ink.
ultra loud shrieking alarms that drive out burglars.
pre recorded sounds of...
man with pump shotgun screaming "I'm gonna git me bugler tonight!" should run them off the first few times
dog growling at door or window, scratching sounds and maybe a wiggling curtain device
sign on door says: Warning: reformed cannibal lives here, no temptations please!"
I would guess ANY non-lethal booby trap you set, would be legal..as long as it did not result in say, dismemberment.
Too bad people these days worry about hurting someone who is TRESSPASSING on THEIR property and out to do THEM harm.criminals really DO have more rights, huh?
Geez..what a world we live in...
I imagine that if they are breaking into your house and you have a no trespassing sign, i think you could probably get away with anything. Maybe a bear trap, that would be freakin sweet!..
My theory -
Whatever contraptions you happen to have in your home are ment for personal use. If someone breaks in illegally and happens to be injured or killed by said contraption, it is the consiquences they suffer for entering the home.
Some people have a baseball bat or something simular.
id protect my family by any means... what i think if you stick your face where it dont belong then its your fault. from where im from we shoot first then call the dogs. cops are for clean up they dont and cant protect you thats yours and i dont mean too be bad on cops they do their jobs... buy lights, get a system, buy a gun, learn to use it,,,inside my home your *** is mine
Fences, locks, burglar alarms, surveillance cameras, lights that come on automatically are legal and are deterrents. Dogs are legal. Any kind of booby trap is not legal. You can be held civilly liable if you intentionally harm anyone.
Usually it's a member of the family that will get booby trapped. Go for a good security system.
You can be sued if a burgler gets hurt braking into your house.
I read in Readers Diguest, where a family got sued because a burgler broke into a second floor window and when he was going down the stairway he stepped on a skate that one of the children failed to put away. He broke his back and was crippled.
