I read about a guy who set a trap by the rear wall of his business at an industrial site. His business was burglarized a few times, so he buried some steel spikes just inside the rear wall. His alarm went off and police responded. One officer jumped over the rear wall to check the business and a spike went through his foot. The owner was jailed and sued, giving a large amount of money to the officer.

Need to add--- Shouldn't the value of the life, earning capacity, etc be considered in coming up with an award amount? $75,000?-- Maybe $7.50 would be more appropriate.
