I have been working on a design of a dummy trail cam that will spray any would be thief's with uv dye laced pepper spray. Would this be something would buy to protect your cams?

how would a person utilize it? Would you hang it next to your working one? I don't think I would pack it in and hang it just to try and catch someone trying to steal my camera...

I was thinking put it in plain sight and hide the other one either pointing at it or down the trail you should se a guy screaming with green dye all over him lol

Yep but unless you have had one stolen then I don't see needing one because I wouldn't want to waste a camera that works pointing at a dummy camera ya know? Don't get me wrong, I like your idea because I despise people who steal cameras so there has to be something. Maybe come up with something that you can put by the camera that unless it is disengaged, will spray when the camera box is opened or something...

I also like the electrified box for the camera but I would just worry that some little critter would crawl on it or a bird would sit on it and then you would fry them

My concern would be an animal (bear) accidentally activating the peeper spray and ruining your chances of seeing other animals in the same area.

Well then all you have to do is look for the animal that is already seasoned.

Win/win for all..

sounds like a lawsuit waiting to happen to me.

Maybe not a dummy trail cam but an actual fully functioning cam with a small single use replaceable can that is good for one good blast. If the display is opened without being de-activated by a special switch. They could expect a blast right to the face. I could see it working and being perfectly legal. If its not your property to be touching/opening then your perfectly just to get blasted.

You could be sued and they may own more than your camera when its all over. It also sounds illegal to me .

I could be wrong, but I believe someone in another thread posted an RCW that states it is illegal to to leave booby traps for thieves and/or trespassers. I can't remember the exact wording, or RCW, but you should look into it. Would hate to see you end up in trouble over it.

booby trapps are very illegal.
