Even a fool knows to look both ways before crossing a busy street.
Again, it’s not me, it the common law recognized in most states.
Agreeing with it means you prioritize threat to bodily harm over threat to harm to property and does NOT mean you don’t respect property, It means you to place a higher value on life than property. I agree with that. It certainly doesn’t mean you don’t have respect for property which I and the common law certainly have.
The law sees rigged devices as a kind of lying-in-wait for their victims, including the trespasser as the victim. Maybe you think its OK to lie in wait to catch and physically hurt the trespasser, but your ownership of property doesn’t give you unlimited rights against the trespasser and that does NOT mean a disregard for the value of the property. That’s why the picture of justice is one blindfolded with scales. You have to weigh the value of these things in the balances of justice regardless of personal bias.
