I know think under "premises/occupiers liability" you aren't allowed to set up things like booby-traps, to stop trespassers / invaders.
Are countries/militaries exempt from such laws?
If so, how are weapon systems like PHALANX CIWS, an autonomous anti-missile weapon system, in use?
Is is a matter of discriminance, in that, a booby trap can harm anything, where as systems such as PHALANX CIWS only defend against, what it thinks are, attacks? Or, is it that militaries follow different laws?
For example, was the shooting down of the Russian jet, by Turkey, illegal?
