Illegal?

[xcellerate]

Alright, this is entirely hypothetical obviously, but still curious. Let's say that in order to prevent the theft of something that was left in the open constantly, such as rims on a car or a vanity license plate, you coated it with some chemical that was extremely fatal (I think some Bruce Willis movie had a similar scenario), and then you put a little sticker on it saying, "this rim will kill you" or "death occurs on contact" and somebody thought you were joking, and stole your rim, then died from XX poisoning.

Could you be held responsible?

I mean sure, it's poison you left out in the open (with a warning), but if you drink paint thinner or eat chlorine then you'd die also, and both of those are things you shouldn't be doing anyway--kind of like touching or stealing other people's property.

p.s. No, my rim(s) did not just get stolen.

 

[AndrewJ]

I see your point but what if a dog licked it, or child got in contact with it, hence it likely would be highly illegal.

 

[Solaris]

Yes. You have the right to defend youreself or youre property, but only with minimum force. Intentional lethal force would put you in jail.

Make it shock people!

funny how a hunk of metal and plastic has more value than human life

 

[AndrewJ]

I remember a friend of mine who could not walk, and some thieving sod robbed his only form of transport to his wife who was dying in hospital.

The night he passed away he got the pleasure of getting one of the bastards by rigging a loan car to the mains.

not really funny I know but he left a note before he died.

" I die happy"

Still a bit of a folk story around my end.

I want those fitted to my computer, imagine fun at a lan party when guy next to you farts or won't stop snoring etc.....toasted motherboard..

 

[short recoil]

It's illeagal to set man traps of any sort in the uk, i don't know about america.

The theory goes if it has the potential to harm someone then it shouldn't be allowed, most things like this backfire on the owner.

You're allowed as many non harmful traps as you like however, not that these are much good at detering a determined criminal.

 

[OvA]

Just don't put warning labels.

"Honestly, officer, I have no idea how my rims got coated in sarin nerve gas!"

 

[StardogChampion]

How about superglue?

 

[Muffin Man]

How about superglue?

u "OMG WTF !!"
not u "i may have a fetish... OH DONT HURT ME"
u "starts car*

Why would that artical imply that metal and plastic have more value then human life. The flametrower won't kill tha criminal. While the criminals will kill you with little provocation. It's going to save more lives then it kills.

the goal of the device is to BLIND people but it has the potential to kill ..you'd think that a jet of flame in your face could do that


I thought my statement was self explanatory ...besides I think the obect of the device is to prevent people from stealing your car when you're not there ...I dont think the flamethrower would be armed while the driver was DRIVING

 

[Sulkdodds]

Could you be held responsible?

Answer: yes.

Could you be held responsible?

The answer is yes, because someone could touch it by accident and die, and because you don't have the authority to set traps to kill or harm other individuals. You would then be charged with (first degree?) murder and go to jail and possibly to the electric chair.

 

[Beerdude26]

Just make it so that, when touched, the individual is transported to another dimension that contains only gorillas that are fed 2500 mg of speed and Viagra on a daily basis.

How would that be a punishment?

 

[Beerdude26]

Exactly.
They will laugh out loud at the irony.

 

[Dekstar]

I say the tazer approach.
But you'd need a pretty big warning saying "OMFG DO NOT TOUCH MY SHIT!"

 

[Homer]

Just buy a handgun and park somewhere safe at night.

Lacking a safe parking place, take those rims to a pawn shop, sell them, and use the money to move to a nicer area.

 

[Steve]

You're a sick pup there, xcellerate. I love you so hard.

 

[Vigilante]

I'd want to kill whoever stole my BMW.

 

[AndrewJ]

Just make it leak my farts, be enough to kill of any threat.

 

[Muffin Man]

actually gorrila pen0r is quite small... a guy at my schoolhad an animal pen0r faq.... seriously, my school is ****ed up

 

[JNightshade]

Yeah, the gorilla schlong is like 1.5 inches on average... it wouldn't even hurt. Just be extremely disconcerting.

What if I obtained a License to Kill?

`
That's a bad idea. I suggest the guy who posted this thread to do the following: Don't buy the rims, and if you already did, sell them. Trust me, you dont' need them. See how easy? Now you won't have to worry about the ****ing rims.

A baby trying to get to know this new World he/she has come into and is touching everything to see what diffrent things feel like. The baby touches a car to see what a car feels like but the car the baby touched was worth more then that baby's life apparently.

...I don't think it'd be legal.

 

[| Exploit]

Yea you could but if you live where no kids live maybe you could put it on.

 

[Uriel]

Indeedo! Magigacamadoooooramarmamram Trouselbarfing Sausagemcflabindoodle

 

[AzzMan]

If you die trying to steal something, thats your own fault. Don't stick your finger in an electrical socket if you dont wanna get electrocuted. Anyways I have friends that have rigged razors on their doorhandles, and can only be grabbed a certain way without getting cut. Some random dumbass trying to pull on them however will be sliced open.

 

[Steven]

Yeah that would mean that you'd never go out of that area and no kid's would ever come in.

 

[short recoil]

Best way to protect a car is to fill it with carbon monoxide when parked (an automated system?) that only you know where the exterior ventilate switch is.
They get in the car, close the door, drive off, even with window partially open or vents going they'll be unconscious soon by which time it could have sent you a txt from the alarm or they could have driven themselves into a wall.
Catch and no evidence left.

Probably no more car either if they fall asleep behind the wheel :|

Maybe your property, but here you can use whatever force necessary to defend yourself, even lethal

 

[JNightshade]

Where do you live? Florida?

 

[AzzMan]

yup....
