As stupid as it may sound, if you injure a burglar,thief,crook etc etc then they can sue you for personal injuries. PC gone mad.
Booby traps in your own house or c'van, ct can cause more problems than its worth, legal accessories are the go, barb-wire, wheel clamps, chains, guard dog, they are visual and if thief still attempts and gets injured you are not liable,(dog bites) (barb cuts)
The gismo for electric fences are OK as long as the wire is visable and a
warning sign attatched, this you can see where farmers attatch the signs every 50-100 mts along the fence wire,to keep out the mushie gatherers and wood-pickers and to keep the animals in, notice the
sign faces humans and not the animals.
Should a thief die from some kind of booby trap or electricity, the family of deceased can proceed for damages irregardless of what the deceased was doing there in the first place, PC gone mad.
Remember the hotel manager who caught two burglars stealing his stock, went at them with a baseball bat, ended up he was charged for unnecessary force in apprehending assailants and was sued for hundreds of thousands $$$$$ for injuries, you can only use a bat for self defense only after the thieves attack you first, PC gone mad
