I sleep much better having cameras likely to record such unlikely events.
The key to this is "the duty owed" for example for a trespasser it amounts to not setting traps.

However a peer of mine advised us to settle a claim because his employer , a public utility had to settle for a large sum even though the guy at the time was robbing them of the copper content and in the process was electrocuted losing both arms. Yes jury sided with the robber??????????????????????????????
