You'd probably be in trouble for using "excessive force" or something like that. Which I suppose is reasonable enough, bearing in mind pepper spray would (I think)be assault with an offensive (illegal)weapon on an alleged burglar who had "merely" broken and entered. Unless you argued that you were in fear for your life in which case you could use reasonable force!!!
PS - I think it's crazy too, but I guess it does protect the innocent/stupid as well!
