Did they deserve to get popped, or.................................?

i didn't really understand, they had a warrant for his arrest for unlawful detention because he took someone out of mexico and back to america because he was wanted in america?

i don't see how the heck he did anything wrong if i am reading it right, what about an extradition treaty stuff? once he turns the suspect over, that is the U.S. governments problem, not his.

i am sure mexico will try as hard as possible to railroad this guy because he took "one of thiers" back to "evil america" and just want to get even.

 

yea, Theres some dirty politics in play here

 

There's no dirty politics, "Dog's" an idiot.

What "Dog" did was go down to Mexico, attempt to kidnap an American and bring him back to the U.S. If he had worked with Mexican law enforcement, this wouldn't be an issue. Keep in mind that the Mexican government doesn't know if the person he went after is a fugitive or not. Mexico doesn't have access to the system used by U.S. law enforcement to verify if an arrest warrant is legitimate. They need verification from their U.S. counterparts. Otherwise anyone could forge a document, go down there and take whomever they pleased, legitimate or not. "Dog" is not a law enforcement official, representative of the U.S. government, nor did he contact the Mexican government to request that they apprehend the fugitive. He took it upon himself to go to a foreign country, as a private individual, and attempt to take another person, against their will out of that country. The law regarding fugitive apprehensions is the same in the U.S. as it is in Mexico. And it seems reasonable that a government would want to know that the person being taken is being taken for legitimate reasons and not just kidnapped. How would you like to be on the recieving end of that?

And BTW, treaties are between governments, not private citizens. And they require adherence to a set of agreed upon provisions, none of which "Dog" probably even knew existed, much less adhered to.

 

aahhh, thanks for the clarification EnviroCon, now it makes more sense, i knew i wasn't picking up something from reading the article.

oh well, too bad for him. no tears in my eyes.

 

I can't stand teh dude and his mullet.

 

I think he is a hero for what he did. He went and got a guy who fled the US for rape. The guy had the money to have remain hidden for a long time.

 

I dont know about that dog guy. Just cause he is a bounty hunter and on television doesnt give him any special right to break any rules. I know if anyone else would have done that they would get in trouble for it too. Although at teh same time, he did get a rapist, that should count for something...

 

i think it's got to be some kind of stunt. think about all the saudis, jordanians, etc. that marry american women, have kids and take them without a custody order and little or nothing is done by our gov't. tell mexico to blow smoke out their butt, unless they take back 12 million of their illegals with Dog. that would be a fair deal

 

What Dog did may have been illegal but he went and got someone who needed to be brought to justice. The fact that he brought this guy in, however, doesn't clear him of any wrongdoing. He should pay for his crimes.

He was not famous until he went there and did this so he was not trying to play the "I am famous so it's okay" card.

 

The story I heard is that bounty hunting is a crime in Mexico. They had Dog and more or less let him go on bail and he skipped out. IF that is the case then Dog made his own problem. Mexico is a country you don't want to play around in. People have been arrested for little or no reason. Whether the rich boy was wrong doesn't excuse not following the laws of a country to are working in. You break their laws then expect to get in trouble.

 

Let Mexico have him!


While he's down there, shave his head and make him put on some clothes.

They can have his wife and posse, too.

 

The same laws apply in Canada. If a bounty Hunter comes into Canada to apprehend a fugitive they are know considered the criminal - Kidnapping - forcible confinement etc. Not that I think it is right but thems the rules. Case in court currently, couple men from Detroit tried to run a guy back from Canada and got caught at the border. These guys are know looking at time??

 

It has always amazed me that they type of bounty hunting that "Dog" and his team do is legal in the US.

If a doctor wants to practice medicine in another country, they have to learn the local rules. It is pretty arrogant to think that you can carry on any buisness in another country the same way you do at home without any regard for the local laws.

Although I must admit to being a fan of the show. I personally think he has low self esteeem about his looks and that's why all his employees look the way you do. Those of you who watch know what I mean.

 

I have mixed feelings about the whole thing. I can understand that what Dog was trying to do in Mexico, wasn't completely by the book. But on the other hand, I can see why he didn't want to trust the authorities down there. The law enforcement is so corrupt down there, that this Luster guy could have easily bought his freedom and disappeared again. Dog should have handled it differently, and maybe involved the FBI before he tried taking the guy out of the country.
