Doesn’t even need that. If Boris is in the foyer, I’m answering the front door. If push comes to shove and I’m killed at the front door, they already know a threat exists. Then they enter the house and attempt to detain Boris.
Gotta ask though, if it needs to be shot to go off, is that really a booby trap? I have draino in my house, that isn’t a trap. Maybe you have to put a sign on it saying don’t shoot?
It would absolutely, 100% go to trial, and the prosecution could easily prove an intent to harm.
As much as the Better Call Saul kinds of legal arguments look clever on TV, in reality the law is much more about vibes and how people interpret what happened.
Unfortunately I think this is still illegal 😔
Probably in most jurisdictions but maybe not if you shoot it yourself. Then it goes from being a trap to a remote controlled weapon.
Extremely, there are explicit laws against booby trapping your own property and you can face full prosecution even if it harms only burglars.
If Boris is being shot and explodes, the likelihood of the home owner already being killed by ICE or other agents is pretty high.
Ah, so your idea is a dead-man’s-switch, clever.

They can’t put you in jail if you’re fucking dead cuz you blew up your house.
Any sort of trap is illegal, for good reason.
Although tannerite is stable unless you shoot it with a round going over 2000ft/s
