Trespassing some random private property does not carry the death penalty and it's pretty fricking hard to argue self-defense when someone walks into your punji sticks.

National security.
They are indiscriminate. You can't claim self defense when the firefighter trying to drag your ass out of your burning house gets got by your rubegoldbergian bullshit.

It's really because law enforcement doesn't want to get rekt when they no-knock raid the wrong mother frickers house. And gives the government prosecution system another charge to drop on you.
>11 year olds actually run out in front of distracted drivers.
And indeed we make distracted driving in a variety of forms illegal (no drugs, no texting, no watching movies, etc) and then also would charge said drivers with manslaughter. Not sure where you were going with this beyond you being a moron.

Because you don't actually own your land, you're just leasing it from the govt and we can't have agents/officers getting injured when they come over for unannounced mandatory penis inspection days.
The correct answer is that violence is only considered legally justifiable for civilians if it is used for defense. Specifically, defense from an immediate threat. Booby traps do not wait for you to have a reasonable fear of bodily harm. Even if they were legal, any attorney worth their salt will use them as an example of pre-meditation and how you "just wanted to hurt people" regardless of your own safety.
While traps and full AI weapons should definitely be illegal IMO, fwiw anon: >Specifically, defense from an immediate threat
this is not true, it varies by state. In some states a variety of felonies justify use of lethal force, there isn't any need to judge whether it's a personal threat of bodily harm to you or not.
Because if there's an emergency at your home it would be quite unfortunate if the EMT's/firefighters got punji-staked
Right, this is yet another form of "a human needs to be judging the situation", because not even everyone "trying to break into your house" is a threat, they may be trying to save your life.
I'm willing to bet that the overwhelming majority of the felonies you're referring to are forcible felonies where the threat of death or great bodily harm is just assumed (arson, rape, aggravated assault, etc.) I don't doubt there are some laws that permit the use of lethal force for cattle rustling or some shit, but that is surely the exception to the norm.
The majority sure, but I'm thinking specifically of burglary, which by legal definition (contrasting with robbery) doesn't involve direct threats to people (it's not necessary anyone even be inside). In Vermont for example justifiable homicide is: >13 V.S.A. § 2305 Justifiable Homicide >(a) If a person kills or wounds another under any of the circumstances enumerated below, the person shall be guiltless: >(1) in the just and necessary defense of the person’s own life or the life of any other person; >(2) if the person reasonably believed that the person, or any other person, was in imminent peril and that it was necessary to repel that peril with deadly force in the forceful or violent suppression of a person attempting to commit murder, sexual assault, aggravated sexual assault, burglary, or robbery;
And burglary is >§ 1201. Burglary >(a) A person is guilty of burglary if he or she enters any building or structure knowing that he or she is not licensed or privileged to do so, with the intent to commit a felony, petit larceny, simple assault, or unlawful mischief. [...] >(2) “Occupied dwelling” means a building used as a residence, either full time or part time, regardless of whether someone is actually present in the building at the time of entry.
So lethal force is permitted even if someone thinks I'm not home at all, and never knows I'm there before I shoot them in the back. There is no duty to warn or retreat.
But that still doesn't justify any sort of trap. And it still requires some discernment, because you need to be able to make some reasonable argument of intent.
Any state that allows using lethal force vs burglary. Read the thread moron, I posted the statute for Vermont and it's not alone. Burglary is not a matter of self-defense, that's robbery.
Booby traps aren't illegal specifically. Endangering people's lives with cause just isn't legal unless you can prove that you tried to rule out other possibilities.

>Why exactly are booby traps illegal?
It's a basic and pretty decent principle that while killing another human can absolutely be justified under many circumstances, there should still be a conscious judgement about doing so each time. Whether you're using a gun or an axe, when you defend your home with it you are making an active decision having judged the situation as well as you can tell, and you are also clearly responsible for that.
Whereas traps (or full AI for that matter) means no human making that call. It'll just act with no judgement, against anything. It can also be forgotten about completely.
I actually think a remote controlled drone or turret could be a fine thing someday for home defense, there's no inherent reason you yourself have to be at risk. I personally think that the act of breaking into a home at all is already worthy of death, my property is absolutely worth more then a burglar's life and I'm glad I live in a state where robbery and burglary both justify lethal force. But I would still agree that I myself have to push that button after looking through the camera and there should be a 1:1 relationship there each time. Human lives are worth enough that humans should decide about killing them.
>there should still be a conscious judgement about doing so each time
It's one thing to put landmines all over your backyard, and another thing to booby trap your safe full of NFA items. Is killing someone with a booby trap less big of a deal than letting career criminals get a hold of a crate of machineguns? The persecutor will persecute you, but ultimately, it's for the jury to decide if your illegal act was justified.
>Is killing someone with a booby trap less big of a deal than letting career criminals >career criminals
See, this right here is the mental trap you're falling into anon. You're automatically assuming that it's a "career criminal" breaking into your safe of NFA items, vs your family or someone else down the line because you died in a tragic accident and being a professional paranoid turbo autismo never got around to sharing the safe combo or even what you had, nor told anyone about your booby traps. Now they've come across it while cleaning your house. In most places this is a much more likely scenario then your career criminal one. And why not just have a better safe and then a bunch of alarms, including these days networked ones that can let you or whomever else know wherever you are? If you're talking high-5 to 6 or 7 figures worth of stuff, that justifies a true safe/vault and professional security.
You're illustrating the entire problem with traps: no human discernment, on top of which humans like you will not think about it and just assume their priors.
You're wasting your breath because OP's IQ score is 20-30 points below average.
This is kind of going into looney tunes territory but whats the law on less lethal trap options? Replace a flag grenade trip wire with a flash bang smoke or tear gas.
Banks use dye pack bombs to ruin stolen money and stain a thief's clothing/hands. You could definitely get away with something similar as long as it didn't cause injury.
>Whereas traps (or full AI for that matter) means no human making that call. It'll just act with no judgement, against anything. It can also be forgotten about completely.

>guard dogs are allowed even though they act on their own
They aren't traps. There is no surprise involved, part of the point indeed is loud deterrence. They are also strictly regulated, people can kill them, and there is historical path dependency there, in that a lot of "guard dogs" are also pets and provide companionship as well. I know it's very, very hard for internet autismos to get but the law isn't a computer program.
If some kid or drunk ignores the signs and wanders onto your property, is that worthy of death? Booby traps can't make any kind of distinction so anything that can plausibly kill is excessive.
>as god intended
The bible specifically says that there is blood guilt involved with killing a man who is not an immediate and direct threat to your life.
It's a massive liability. The king's men; cops, firefighters, paramedics, people that clean up bodies, etc... don't want to have to contend with the idea of everything being booby trapped whenever they have to enter a residence. If 1% of all residences were like a saw movie, they'd be forced to treat all residences as such. Furthermore, in just about everyone's ideation of an perfect world, children should be able to just wander around and be relatively safe when exploring.
This is kind of going into looney tunes territory but whats the law on less lethal trap options? Replace a flag grenade trip wire with a flash bang smoke or tear gas.
It depends on what you mean here by "less lethal". You'll have to check your own state law but in most places I think like here it'd be less serious but still illegal, the same way punching someone in the face (without justification) is still assault, but much less serious than shooting them in the face (murder or attempted murder, assault with deadly weapon). Basically, the question you have to ask is >"if a firefighter coming to save my life was caught by it what would the result be?"
or >"if I forget to turn it off and guest's/neighbor's kid wandered into it what would the result be?"
So if it plays an airhorn or turns on bright lights or something? That's fine, it doesn't hurt the person at all. If it tases them or tear gas or the like? If it would be assault for you to do it to a random person yourself it'd be illegal as a trap too.
There are carveouts in some states for hunting or dealing with pest animals, but those still require reasonable care be taken to avoid any human interaction.
Why are you implying anybody should care about this? A bunch of rich child rapists in a room don't have the moral authority to tell you or anybody else what to do.

This is the romantics answer

On a military base they'll just shoot you. No need for traps.

You're not
Why don't they defend the border the way they defend area 51 and fort Knox?
Defending 1500 miles of open land is somewhat more expensive then defending like a few thousand feet of building.
because lethal border protection measures are draconian and look very very bad.
