Not for keeping animals IN but for keeping neighbors OUT. I'd like to
put enough voltage on the fence to pain so much pain you'd scream and
possibly loose you bowl/bladder controls but NOT enough voltage to do
permanent harm or death.

I figure if it's legal for cops to taser you with 50,000 volts for as
little as talking back to the cop or asking a question then my idea
would be legal since trespassing is illegal everywhere.

#1 = Law. You may be right about this last point, but
(a) you can check (in a law library) and (b) it would be
prudent to do so in case you are wrong -- because your
liability (criminal or civil) is not limited by what you do not
know (i.e. "ignorance of the law is no excuse.")

#2 = Engineering. If you live in any organised municipality,
the building permits office will tell you (free) whether you
need a permit to build a fence and what sort of fence you
may build.
