It is legal to booty trap your own house. Unrelated, just a funny thought.
No, that's illegal. But AFAIK in all states you can wait inside your door with a shotgun and blast anyone who breaks into your home illegally.
Better yet, you have the constitutional right to organize 30 or your neighbors to use guns to protect each other from marauding thugs.
Is it still considered a booty trap if it's activated by an ~~evil AI~~ AI programmed to follow castle doctrine?
Its not, but if you are going to Home Alone a bunch of ICE agents illegally entering your house, please record that shit. If its funny enough the jury will absolutely not convict you.
Imagine those fucks stepping on toy cars and sliding down a stairwell or being hit with powdered sugar and then set on fire.
Now I want to see a version of Home Alone where it's ICE and all the traps are as deadly as they would be in real life.
There would be piles of bodies around the McCallister house. I wonder if Mac Culkin is busy these days
It would make a good reality tv show.
