Justice was served on a guy who thought it would be funny to drive over these Trump lawn signs, except these particular signs fought back. That’s right, whoever put these signs on their lawn also added a wooden board with nails in front of the signs to get even with the unsuspecting vandals.

Das is vunderbar!!! :)
Isn’t booby-trapping your home illegal?.....Only if you hurt someone or could recklessly hurt someone.
Just playing devils advocate here, What happens if the car was to pull back on the road with a flat or multiple flat tires and cause an accident that God forbid hurt or killed someone? Bad juju IMO.
“Wasn’t that word removed from the dictionary 8 years ago?”
Not for everyone. ; )
The driver was at fault for trespass. The driver was responsible for not driving an inoperative vehicle on the public road.
The driver was a criminal and is responsible for activities stemming from his criminal activity
Proudly displaying the tagline since 2007
Most states have laws against setting traps for burglars or vandals. In many the sentence is one year in jail and/or a $1000 fine.
Insurance replaces the tires, so the perp gets away with it except for his/her name be4ing plastered all over the paper. Unfortunate not enough.

In Texas we can shoot people taking our property.
Insurance replaces the tires,”””
IF there is a deductible of $1000, the driver will be replacing his own tires.
If I deliberately swerved off the road to knock over a sign I didn’t like, and then swerved back in and caused an accident, it would be NO ONES fault but my own.
I get your point but considering who we’re talking about, I doubt they would admit to deliberately doing anything.
Seriosly, the cp (if had any brains would wonder why the shiite head pulled onto the road with flat tires when he to drive over 13’ to the street with flat tires. Driver would be at fault.
If the grass was a bit longer and the board painted in a green/brown camo motif, it would also work against the vandals who decide to walk up and pull the sign at night.
Yours is one of the states that allows property vandal protection. But a preset trap that uses the possibility of deadly force, even accidentally, is not legal. If your booby-trap constitutes the use of force on anyone, then you must take great care and consideration before deploying it because use of force requires that you reasonably believe that force is immediately necessary. If your booby-trap uses force on someone that it wasn’t reasonable to use force on (child wanders on your property) then you will probably have your own crime to answer for.
You can shoot someone trying do you or your property immediate harm any time you feel threatened by the Castle Law. But that is not a preset trap.

Maybe answering the courts for trespassing. But the owner of the property that preset a trap that did the damage, will pay for the tires because they were destroyed by him on his property. The law doesn’t erase the destruction of property when it is intended to do so because the owner can’t justify it. I wish they could, but they wouldn’t be able to reach the immediate threat of needed force based upon the Castle Law.

As I said, if he is taking my property I can shoot him - unless, of course. he gives up the property...but if he runs with it I can cap him.
