I personally believe that while you are engaged in a crime on someone elses property that you should not have a reasonable expectation of safety.  Unless the home owner summarily executes someone who didn't pose a threat to their life and property i don't feel that the state should be able to hold them financially responsible for the emotional impact of the words they used to detain criminals. 

 

While your explanation is frankly eloquent, its also a sad representation of how misguided our legal system has become.
