A Russian farmer may get a four-year jail term for protecting his field with booby-traps. His approach proved efficient when a trespasser triggered one.

Another case of the authorities siding with the criminals and punishing the victim......
The prosecutor is a bigger enemy of the farmer than the intruder. The farmer will need to deal with the prosecutor first.
The farmer has the right to protect his propety - if more folks did this robberies would be reduced and the jails would be less populated.

I am on the farmer's side. I take it the person broke into the home or barn of this farmer. One has a right to protect themselves and their property. A criminal did a criminal act and now is victimized by the authorities. Not a good idea to take that route.
