Also, what if one of the younger neighborhood kids had come on the property (just being a kid) and received the shock, the owner would most likely be in jail and the parents suing the crap out of him..... And in this era of litigation would most likely win.Ya should have read further..........The law clearly states that he is liable IF the person is injured. He has no injury, therefore he isn't liable.That's not the point, the point is booby trapping personal property for any reason is illegal. I suspect the video is staged (and funny) but why open yourself to a potential law suit and, or criminal charges unless one is seriously stupid?Getting a minor shock isnt an "injury". He cant be sued for that.Interesting, if real (not staged) then he got what he deserved however if real the homeowner would be facing charges and a civil law suit also for intentionally booby trapping the sign..........
Booby Traps Law & Legal Definition
It is illegal to set a booby trap on one's own property to prevent intruders.
No ifs, ands or buts included in that statement. Oops........
They wouldn't win if I was on that jury.
