Would you get in trouble if you fitted a roomba with a shotgun and programmed it to shoot intruders, and then it successfully did shoot an intruder?
Are there any laws against creating your own defense system?

yes there are laws against setting traps. first responders get upset when they fall prey to them.
>>34923865
how are you going to program it to not shoot you
stoopid
>>34923876
Have some sort of remote that has a don't shoot signal
What if instead of a roomba it was a fan
>>34923865
Yes, technically a spring trap. at least in my jurisdiction.
Most places have similar laws, if it isn't a person using potentially lethal force then it's illegal.

How will a roomba even fit in your house OP? ARE YOU DTUPID?

>what are dead batteries
so does this mean I can't have that car alarm system that shoots criminals

Lethal traps are illegal, but nobody would grieve over a bum that breaks into people's houses. It would be better to make something that shoots poison darts or sprays acid though. Loud bangs would attract attention.
Robots are not your slave meat sack
Does anyone have the pasta about a /k/ommando killing a beautiful hitchhiker who loved his anime collection on accident with his anti burgler trap?
Google the case of Katko v. Briney. TL;DR, you might be liable for injuries. This isn't legal advice.
post roombas
Wait, is it a trap if you control it remotely? Like if you have a sentry gun that you have to hit a button to shoot it?

This sounds like the premise of an always sunny episode
Motion sensor hooked up to turboloud alarms and blinding bright lights would be my initial best thought for a home defence system, confuse the shit out of possible intruders and scare them off.
Most burglars are petty criminals who are scared shitless at the first sign of trouble
I don't know how much more you can do before stepping into illegal traps.

fire up contraption
JRT mounts contraption and humps it to death

>what is a dog
best home defense system, we bred them for a reason. even little yippy dogs will piss off a robber enough to make him run. plus you get to use the beware of dog sign for even more deterrence.

What if I use bums as traps?
Like attack bums?
