Maybe not, but how about the suggestion earlier to shoot people who are painting graffiti on your property? What happens if someone gets shot in that situation, or in some other gray area?
This is an ideal value-added extension to all those surveillence TV cameras springing up, especially on private property. With a bit of technology the cameras and guns could automatically identify graffiti activity and alert a security person or the resident. Tranc-type guns would be mounted on the camera platforms. The artists would often be found facedown on the pavement when the police arrive.
So the police get to your house only to find an uncounsious St. Benard face down in the pavement because your security system identified him as a graffitte artist spraypainting something on the side of your house while wearing a weird fur coat.
