Bunch of wannabe cops. Here's to hoping someone shoots them next time.

Here's to hoping the state can provide new legislation to better train and regulate bounty hunters that help an overburdened police force deal with criminals who once again break the law.

America still has bounty hunters? Come on America, we don’t expect you to be in the 21st century, but you could at least make it into the 19th.

If bounty hunters got shot doing this I wouldn't feel the least bit sorry for them.

[Unclejimmema]

Bounty Hunters in America are generally pretty damn limited to within their scope of enforcement, namely being bail bond dodgers that are not considered a significant threat to the general public. It allows for individuals certified by the state to detain these people and bring them back into custody. In states that don't allow bounty hunters this generally means that a warrant is placed out for their arrest, but they typically wont be arrested again until they are caught committing another crime.

I wouldn't call "Being able to break into, and trespass on private property" "pretty damn limited" tbh.

i love all the operator gear they were, it's so obviously imitating police and shit

"AGENT" "PROTECTIVE SERVICES"

As someone from another country the concept of a bounty hunter is fucking bizarre, like you'd just told me you still have cowboys and saloons.

What I don't like about these guys, as some bailiffs in the UK, is they try to dress up like police officers to confuse people into thinking they either are or hold the same powers.

[Solokiller]

Kinda like Steven Seagal. Didn't he bust somebody's house with an APC once?

[dcalde78]

A lot of bailiffs in the UK wear stab vests because of the inherent risk of violence in their line of work. That kind of thing generally does look police issue but that's just the kind of aesthetic it has. Though rather than being high vis, they're usually just black with "High Court Enforcement" or their company name on it, and they will always make it clear that they're not police because people can and do mistake them for police.

I would say it's fair for them to wear protective stuff, especially since they could just be arrested for imitating a police officer if they wore genuine looking police gear

Police. Hate. Bounty Hunters

And so should you

[Sableye]

or just eliminate bounty hunters, reform the bail system, and get rid of this cowboy justice practice altogether.
