Translations:Are you allowed to use deadly force in defense of (mere) property?/16/en

[D]efending one’s property at night, when the ability to see is limited, means that one cannot be as subtle in the application of force as might be possible during the daytime, especially because of the difficulty of seeing whether or not an intruder has a weapon…. Thus, the present law allowed the use of deadly force against intruding thieves from sundown to sunup, but not during the daylight. The property owner could still defend against theft in the daytime but could not use lethal force in the process. (p. 503)
