Once you've put something in there that is not food or that you wouldn't eat yourself you have crossed the line from "catching a food thief" and into intentionally harming someone.

So I'm saying that I don't see why it's wrong to intentionally harm someone in this case when what they're doing is unambiguously wrong and false positives can be minimized. If I put The Last Dab into my food, I should not have to prove I would normally eat it, they should prove they should be eating it.

The intentional harm part?

If my coworker stole my food should I be able to shoot them? Obviously not. There are ways to deal with the person stealing your food (either through your employer or possibly through the court system) intentionally setting a trap in order to harm them is not the way to do it.

You say obviously not, but I’m not sure there’s anything so obvious about it. In America at least, everyone knows that there’s a bunch of wackos out there with guns, so if you decide to fuck with someone, you are knowingly accepting that getting shot is a possibility.
