I literally just warned you that's not the case. Even if the FBI doesn't prosecute, you can respond physically[0], but I was more speaking in the context of someone hacking wifi, where they're in close physical proximity, not the other parent's example of a remote attack.
(That's why you hack... because you can do it remotely.)
For context, I had a neighbor literally hack a speaker I was using to do personal, private calls, protected by PA's 2 party consent state.
I don't like when people invade my privacy, repeatedly, then do a shocked Pikachu[1] when the result is to respond like an Appalachian with multiple degrees and ten years of policy experience paired with the skills of a woodsman trained by the Boy Scouts just before they went bankrupt.

- legalcorrection 4y agoNo no no. You cannot respond to a hacker with deadly force, except in a special circumstance where you reasonably fear imminent death or serious bodily injury. I’m not going to sit here and argue with your other misguided points, but that is dangerously wrong.
