What was it?
The video description said it was paint.
Maybe one of those paint grenades used in paintball.
warning do not try that here. Although it serves trespassers right I'm sure the land owner would be charged with some kind of mischief or greater charge. All we can do is report report report
LOL that was awesome and well deserved. Too bad bad it wasn't a couple of cans of pig manure exploding all over him from every angle.
As a landowner though....how badly could you be held if you setup a paintball trap on your land ??
What's buddy going to say?
"I trespassed and got covered in paint?"
All I'm saying is if we were paintballing and forgot to remove a paintball trap...[emoji12]
I was waiting to see who was going to reference sect. 247 - well done trimmer ;)
Highly illegal and suuuuuuper dangerous.
But hilarious !
Basically causing harm by intentionally setting traps
247(a) covers it well. Its a severe pecker slap
"...with intent to cause death or bodily harm to a person, whether ascertained or not,
(a) sets or places a trap, device or other thing that is likely to cause death or bodily harm to a person; or
(b) being in occupation or possession of a place, knowingly permits such a trap, device or other thing to remain in that place.
Intentionally Sets or places a trap - is the big key here.
Could you imagine if that guy in the video was blinded following that paint to the face?
I hate it when the damn kids in the area set these things off!!!
When you are trained to read law, words have meaning.
Like "intent"
Like death or bodily harm
Were you waiting for that Buzz?
"Bodily harm" can be anything from a fat lip to damn near killing someone. That's what makes this section so all-encompassing,almost like "mischief",anything from innocent tom-foolery to attempt murder.
Towards the end of my law enforcement career,one of my last incidents was a spouse trying to burn the ex's car by getting his neighbor to lend him a gallon of gas. The charge was "Conspiracy to commit an indictable offense-mischief" and "Conspiracy to commit--arson". The Crown got him on both charges. He did 8 months.
Many years ago just outside of Milton Ontario my two cousins(brothers) and a friend fished a pond for many years that was on private property. Signs had been posted private property and no trespassing. They had never seen anyone over the years on the property and continued to ignore the signs and go fishing. The wealthy land owner happened to be patrolling his land and in the distance noticed my two cousin and the friend. The three trespassers my cousins and the friend also saw the land owner and decided it was best to leave and pack up. The land owner started shooting at them hitting my one cousin in the side while more bullets whizzed by the other two men head. They dragged my cousin to the car still alive and rushed him to the hospital where he died. The wealthy land owner got off with a slap on the wrist. Justice in its finest form and all true. I was 13 years old at the time and will never forget how Canadian law screwed over my entire family .
Hey I'm not a lawyer and I knew this was trouble. 3 pages already of dedate just imagine what a legal beagle could do. Even if you put aside if its legal or not I would be concerned with the legal cost of defense. If there is one thing I've learned from watching The Peoples court self help is never rewarded.
you have to be carefull around the farms down here as pot growers like leaving booby traps on trails going to the bush I have found a few over the years the old 12g shell set in a rat trap with fish line across the trail .thy had taken the shot out of the round so it would be a hell of a boom but that's it ,,D
If they are carrying a gun.. they are not trespassers! They are now poachers as far as I am concerned! They are taking game illegally from my land whether it is in season or out.
Now which conviction would stick in court and which carries the heavier penalty?
Dick
yes but its still cutting your nose off to spite your face. What's the other one... oh ya 2 wrongs don't make a right. You're into a needless legal battle that you'll have to defend which cost money. money better spent on surveillance and reporting to the proper authority.
Those are rinky-dink provincial offences. Setting traps is a criminal code matter with significant civil liability -- liability your insurance company won't cover, as it is created by your deliberate, criminal act.
You can pretty much file setting traps of any kind under Ideas, Bad, Best Avoided.
I'd post signs on my property like this one...
Far more effective than lame old "NO TRESPASSING" notices...

Thanks yellow dog. Holy crap what a farce ! Almost worse than a recent ruling where a bow hunter was murdered from 300 yards because the killer said he thought it was a deer !
I guess if you are the right person and say the right things trespassers are fair game ! :whacked:
This is a pdf of the trial results for the shooter. Very interesting.

Oh yes and they made the shooter look like the victim in this case. If you were to hear my aunt and uncles version of what went on in the court room it would change your mind of the Canadian Justice system. Many people were upset in the community for years to come and came to the same conclusion. Reading those newspaper articles brought back a lot of bitter memories because of the outcome.
I can't imagine this happening,yet,it did,quite clearly. Not long ago,right here in Durham Region,I had a work colleague that was fired at while fishing while wading in a creek that ran between two farms. The farmer ordered him off the property at gun point and held him until the Police arrived. He was given a $50 ticket and the farmer wasn't questioned. A police officer said "You can put that away,now." Other than that,nothing else was said. Maybe,your case has set a case-law precedent along with many others that have cropped up over the years. Trespassers need to tread lightly. Searching Canadian case law may be well worth it.
I hope it wasn't the case that set the precedent but you may be right. I may talk this over with my two nephews and niece who are young OPP officers and City of Windsor Police Officer. My one nephew was studying to be a lawyer before he made the career change to OPP. He may be able to dig up some information for me for piece of mind. But then again the shooter has to live with himself if he's still alive.
remember this story :
http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/saskat...ideo-1.2577303Quote:
Deryl Ring, the man who confronted the snowmobilers with a gun that day, is an alpaca farmer who lives in the area. He said the snowmobilers crossed through his land while they were riding, stressing out his prize-winning animals.
So he got in his truck and caught up with them on his neighbour's property to confront them.
(good Video for the court )
Not sure if we ever posted the sentence he received;
http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/saskat...lers-1.2963087Quote:
Deryl Ring received a conditional discharge and 50 hours of community service for a confrontation with snowmobilers last year.
Deryl Ring arrives at court this morning. (CBC)
The 62-year-old pleaded guilty to two charges — mischief and assault while in possession of a weapon. Ring must also hand over his firearms for a year. It was a joint submission from defence and the Crown. The conditional discharge will be removed from his criminal record in three years if conditions are met.
Don't forget there are unstable, low functioning, drugged-out people everywhere not just in urban areas. You maybe the person trespassing and you maybe assuming all you're going to get is a warning by the landowner. In asking for permission for turkey hunting I encountered people with all kinds of obvious issues and I really wouldn't want to be caught trespassing by these individuals. They care very little about the law as we know it. I always assume the best in people and I am rarely disappointed but I now realize I might be naive. There problem gets much worse around here during the deer season. Trespassing on to farms that have been traditional hunting areas will not be tolerated. Hell some of these individuals have divs on Crown Land. Dan O.
