I dont think that you could define it as a trap. Isnt a trap
something that is hidden and not declared? The signs outside declared that the security system was in place and dangerous. If so, then this system can be no different than barbed-wire fences, constenteine (sp?) wire, guard dogs, etc. So why is this case any different?

By law its considered a TRAP even if its labeled. If it wasn't illegal don't you think there would be products on the market that used electrocution as a security device for auto theft or home invasion? The reason this guy had to rig his own, is because he couldn't buy one on the market, because they are illegal and are considered Man Traps... even if you put up warning signs.
