The law is an extension to existing “Stand Your Ground” laws that applies to theft of commercial electronic telecommunication machines used to perform wireless financial transactions. The owner of these machines or someone employed by them may use reasonable force to prevent the theft, which does include shooting the thieves if the owner believes their life is in danger.
The ““loophole”” refers to the fact that this applies to suspected thieves too, with the Texas Supreme Court ruling that “[at] most one innocent suspect may be shot at. The owner must do his or her due diligence to prevent targeting multiple innocent individuals.”
This is misinformation.
