meagain It really doesn't matter what the person from the street was doing, or going to do. Let's say he's just walking down the sidewalk, steps in a hole in front of your house, and breaks an ankle. You're gonna pay big time. If he gets electrocuted from any device you set up on your property, no matter why he was there, you are going to pay dearly. And go to jail. He did not 'break in'.
