Dummy trail cam with uv dye pepper spray inside would you buy one?

[Knocker of rocks]

It is not illegal to open and or inspect a game camera that is not your own, that is set up on private property.  But it is illegal to maim somebody

Sounds like a bad idea to me.

Sounds like a bad idea to me.

Sounds like you could wind up with more trouble than what a $75-$200 camera is worth....yeah loosing a camera would suck but I think Id rather cut my loss than delve into what could be a expensive legal mess 

[Jingles]

Having lost one recently and having the police and FS enforcement both telling me that without  picture of the individual actually taking the camera there is nothing they will do.
 So not only yes  but He77 yes I'd get one and I'd put it right where the other one was stole from and when it went off hope the bas*** falls the 20 feet to the ground and impales himself on a sharpened stick.
Because you know the Dirt bag thinks if he got away with it one time he can get away with it a second time So Yes I'd set a booby trap.
I think what would be great is a pressure release triggered Flash Bang accompanied with an exploding dye pack so when the pressure of the camera against the Tree is relieved it goes off or when the the case is opened that way you could have a device to maintain the pressure inside the camera so when it is off the tree and the case opened if you did not maintain the pressure KABANG

I would not do it. Unfortunately you may well end up the bigger loser from legal consequences.

[JimmyHoffa]

The liability would keep me from using such a thing, but it is kind of funny to think about some thief getting what's coming to them.

you can't be serious!  Please be prepared to lose any and everything you own, please talk to a lawyer before you waste more time and energy on this thought.  If I rig my car to shock people that may try to break in, or have a sling to shoot poison needles at intruders in my tent....
please use that inventive mind for something more productive....   I doubt people that are stealing trail cams are going to be deterred from taking them just cause they might get sprayed??
(not trying to be a jerk, just want you to come up with something that can put you on shark tank instead of "in the tank.")

[Jingles]

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?

You have a PM

You cant be serious yourself! Lose everything you own over some pepper spray?

It's against the law and you likely will be sued if they can prove it was yours.

I saw an unattended trail cam and thought it would be cool to see who retrieves it. I am not the owner nor do I know the owner. 

[Jingles]

I want one with florescent dye that takes forever to wear off. So when the SOB is wearing his FS uniform it shines like a DIAMOND IN A BLACK GOATS AZZ

Wait a minute...if its on private property how is that not illegal (trespass)??

Because a felony trumps a misdemeanor
