Wireless Cameras, Machine Guns and a Slice of Signage

Yesterday someone at work announced that there had been someone living in there shed that had lived there for the last 2 months without them knowing.

It made me think. Yes think… I wonder if this squatter had an accident and was hurt would they be able to create a lawsuit out of it.

In England it appears that the lawsuit would probably get laughed out of court as they should not be on the land anyway.

America on the other hand suggests that this can be an easier achievement. If a person does injure themselves while on someone else’s land they can sued for having items or obstacles that cause injury.

Eventually tricks like this will become more common. People sue other people for stupid reasons. There is not a day goes by that lawyers and insurance companies advertise for people who have had an accident and want to sue over it. People will start doing this as a profession. eg. Teacher, IT Programmer, Doctor, Claimant. It evens fits in quite well.

I have been thinking of ways to prevent these incidents from happening. One of the ones I think would be a good idea but I would not recommend it.

Get two Wireless Cameras, two wall mounted sensor operated automatic machine guns (one for front and one for back) and two signs saying if any persons trespass on to the property or the land that is allocated to the property they will be shot.

I think the rest can probably be guessed.

NOTE: This is NOT a recommendation and should not be done.
