Yes. He's just doing it in such a way that the legal system feels little to no impetus to intervene. In practical terms, the legal hazard to such a trap is the possibility that one of two things happens: 1.

Someone who isn't the target inadvertently sets it off and is sufficiently pissed off to seek legal redress.
