A big-thinking Slovenian startup has created a curious smart security camera that doesn't just spy on your visitors, but will actively open fire on potential intruders with paintball pellets – or even tear gas rounds – with "ultra high precision." What could possibly go wrong?

Paintball probably could win a lawsuit. It can cause bruising and a shot to the eye could cause serious damage.

I was curious about sprinkler traps being illegal. I could only find stories of it happening though, not of people getting in trouble for it. Example article. I think spinklers might be fine, cuz it doesn't cause bodily harm?

Also a fun, unrelated article I found about a guy who booby trapped his house with all sorts of stuff.
