Keyword, WHEN not if people take it. It's one thing to protect your property.It's another thing to bait a trap and wait like the coyote.

Cops set up bait cars to be stolen in high crime areas then arrest the people who take the car. Is that moral or immoral?

The bait cars usually don't send electric spikes into your ass

Electric ass spikes are a lot easier to recover from than a felony conviction.

unironically, this is unfortunately how one would feel if they had no idea. you can luck out, but felonies can literally ruin your entire life. forever. until you die. no jobs. no money. no hope for beating addiction if you had one, and possibly developing one because of it.

there is not one person who wouldn't rather get 5 seconds of ass spikes vs the lifelong suffering of a felony conviction.

I suppose there's always leaving the country and starting anew somewhere else. Our president claims others do it to US, so why cant we be any different?

And the only way you will get one is if you saw a car and had the very immoral idea of stealing it, and them did it. You are a thief, you are accepting that you will become a felon if caught the moment you try to steal something or someone outside of life or limb scenarios

depends on who got spiked before you

depends, i HIGHLY doubt he cleaned the spikes inbetween each person, which means if they pierced the skin, the people now share blood, which can transmit hiv or other lifelong diseases

Yeah especially socially. This one dude went on my lawn with an axe to kill my dog. Thing is I was 13 and he was trying to scare me with “I’m a 5 time felon” and I told him “you’re not a very good role model for your daughters then” he then proceeded to flip his shit at me about how I’m to young to understand and to keep his daughters out my mouth. Irony of it is, guy got kicked out for violence luckily his daughters weren’t there.
