what can be done about tresspassers?

[gonelifting]

i wouldnt...and you cannot use deadly force in
defense of property (maybe still can in texas) unless
you are in your home...

technically, the model penal code allows the "use of
confinement as protective force" but you may open
yourself up to all kinds of civil liability...

and your state may not have adopted that section of
the MPC...

OK I`m in NJ btw. I guess I`m gonna try the "scare the hell outa them" first, and go from there.

I`d love to sit on THEIR property in the dark and aim at them. This way if there`s a complaint to the cops, you`ll see the shots came from their house. Everybody will think their father did it to them. He`s just as crazy as they are. lol

You can hear the bastards yelling at each other all day long from like 2 blocks away.

In the past, when I have had problems with people, I find it effective to accidentally run them over a few times with your car or SUV.

Afterewards you can cool off with a refreshing lavendar bath, which is refreshing and relaxing.

Buy 4 no trespass signs.

Sign and date them.

Put one up on all four corners of the property - very visible to someone walking by or onto the property.

Every single time some crosses that trespass sign and see them - go out there and point out the sign - tell them that if it happens again you'll call the police.

If that fails - see Bwoods advice

basically, you can call the cops and have them
advise the kids/parents of the their rights regarding
criminal trespass and request that the police
arrest them at any time after that if they spot
them on your property...

you can contact the local juvenile officers and
file a complaint with the juvenile prosecutor and
go to court with your video and other evidence...

most states case law, will allow you to order someone
off your property, then block their progress or gently
remove them, and then escalate to hard force if needed
to remove them or protect yourself...

Just shoot them.

Buy an electric fence.

Barbed wire.

Bear traps.

Dig a pit with spikes at the bottom and cover it with sod.

Home Depot sells security floodlights that are motion activated.
Put it up near the gate so it hits them with 200watts of light when they pass.
If they're as wasted at 2am as I think they are
they won't want bright lights in their eyes.
My bet is they're only do that once and find a different route.

I like the security light idea. You could also put up another (taller) fence. I'd probably just get a big dog and let him out.
