Dog the Bounty Hunter arrested

Opps…assumption:^)

This article from the BBC, obviously written before Dog became a tv star is a helpful explanation of the way bounty hunting works.

I cannot believe that they are doing this to Dog. It’s just wrong. He’s just doing his job in taking a rapist off the streets. I’m glad he’s there making justice happen.

They only want dog because he arresed a rich person. If it was u or I it would have not been a problem. The system over there sux. KEEP YOUR HEAD UP CHAPMAN FAMILY.

Princesslita:

A&E wasted no time, in less that a week they have an emotional special on TV. It’s the same tactic used when Chapman broke the law in 2003.

Chapman and his crew went on TV vowing to get Luster (and therefore 100 thousand of the 1 million bail) got a tip, went to Mexico and the rest is history.

The US viewing public are being played for suckers.
And let’s be real here, the US viewing public is overwhelming on Chapmans side and the law be damned. He is colourful and charismatic, and that overrules US law and international law?
A&E is providing you with the ‘redemption reality show’ with Dog and now the , ‘our star is being persecuted for doing the right thing’ routine.

The US justice department extraites all US bounty hunters that break the law, in the case of Mexico, the extrication time is 3 years.

Chapman figured he could just stay away from Mexico and not deal with legalities. Chapman and his team were foreigners in Mexico, they cannot assume the function of law officials.

Yell about how your US marshalls behaved, they just did their job on your soil.
Yell about how bad your federal prisons are are on your soil.
Yell aout your Justice Department enforcing Supreme Court law.

The US Supreme Court has made it very clear, a US bounty hunter may not pursue anyone across international borders, and that their powers of arrest can only be exercised within the territory of the United States.

US bounty hunters that come to Canada, and head back to the US to collect their fee and deliver their jumper are extradited by the US Justice Department and charged with kidnapping under Canadian law. Same with Europe, UK or even Afghanistan.

Bounty hunters are also not welcome in some US states, and have done and will do prison time for breaking state or federal laws.

all i can say is who’s gonna let the dog out?

Dog, Leyland and Tim are doing something most people would shy away from. They do it for a reason. I would hope that if I am ever in that situation (even though in UK) they would be the ones to catch me, they have hearts, and, unlike most bounty hunters in the US, do not carry guns, they understand why people commit crimes and try to help them. To lock these people up would be a crime, as one previous poster said, if it were you or me this wouldn’t be an issue, lets face it this is a means to an appeal for a rapist.

Well dog I bleave that under god or in his eyes we are all brothers.
So by mans laws you are arrested. But you are above all that.
You and your family live as christ followers. “christans”
When i heard that you were in jail for helping all of our brother
& sisters by takeing him back to stand at judgement for hurting my
sisters. My heart hert .
in closing thay will go before god to answer why did you do this to your
brother dog. LOVE AWAYS BRA

P.S.Get back out their and be gods tool like you have aways been!!

I can’t believe how many people on this message board has fooled themselves into thinking Dog deserves what he got. He caught a violent serial rapest that druged, video taped, raped and tortured several woman. The us marshalss, FBI, or any other governmental agency failed to do anything about Luster crossing the border. When Luster was found in Mexico he had video equipment and a journal that said “paybacks” and under that section it had the names of the girls that testified against him.

Dog absolutly did NOT catch Luster for the money(he never got paid) he caught him because he knows that Luster was a menice to society, it did not matter if he was here in the U.S. or Mexico. Dog did not want him to hurt anymore woman.

And to the jerk who posted that has arrest was good because he is a freak, well i only wish one day you can personally feel the pain that the 3 woman felt after they were raped. Just because Dog is loud, that is not a reason to lock him up. He has 12 children and he is taking care of one of his daughters child after she passed away.
And he loves talking to kids. I went to Hawaii last summer & i went to his office, he was not there but Wesley was and he called Dog and he got on the phone just to talk to my daughter. Then my bother, who is in the national guard, asked Dog to come to his unit, & he did. He went to the guard unit, hung out, talked, and took pics. He is very thoughtful, and willing to help anybody who is knocked down.

There are so many stupid laws on the books, they should be taken off Example: somewhere on the east cost there is a law that says you can not whale watch while driving your car on the highway! Dog not only did the government a favor, he did a favor for all mankind! And Dog did turn over Luster to the Mexican authorites.

Plus what is this saying to criminals? Go to Mexico, they will hide you? Mexico is a corrupt, sleezy, and greedy county. If dog is sent to hail, the community will surely suffer!

Dog, Tim, Leland- I am praying for you and your families to be able to get through this and I am praying that justice will prevail!!

Well as much as I like the DOG and his show and all he does for humanity, there still lies one major problem surrounding this whole thing… He of all people (a distinguished Bounty Hunter) should of understood that he broke the law. Mexico’s laws or otherwise, he posted bail and skipped out on his court date. That is a serious foul in my oppinion. How many times have we heard him say you are not taking food off of my childrens table by skipping out on your bail. What about the person that posted his bail?

All in all he is a blessing from God to all those Criminals who he captures. He is not just in it for the money, he is actually trying to change the way those people think about themselves and what they are doing. He probably make 100 times more of a difference in that one hour car ride to jail than most of the criminals 12 or 24 month sentences.

Moral of the story is he should of showed up for court after all it was just a misdemenor right. All he would of gotten is a small fine and he would have been done with it. My hart goes out to him and his family none the less.

we are big fans of dog bounty htnter and his family we think it is sameless what they have done to him it taken them long time to think about it my son in bits over it he even witten to him dog takes all the bad people off the streets and make it safe the us a govement should be a shame of them selfs

i think that the bounty hunter should be here in england as we have alot of drugs over here as well as other people commiting offences i have 4 boys myself and do worry if they are gonna get the drugs pushed onto them.They should release the dog and his brothers as they do good in the comunity and it will also release the pressure on beth

Duane, Leland and Tim Chapman should not be extradited to Mexico for the act of taking a serial rapist off of their streets, who never should have been there to begin with.

The real criminal subject in this case, pervert rapist and necrophiliac Andrew Luster, is currently serving a 124 year sentence for his atrocities. Thanks to the Chapman’s, he is where he can never drug and rape another innocent victim. A post arrest search of his Mexico hotel room found a video camera, rape kit and quantities of GHB.

Maybe he just went to Mexico to work on his tan?

Dog was in constant communication with US and Mexican authorites, and even had a paid Mexican cop with him when he nabbed Luster. But the cop booked it as soon as the tacos hit the fan. How typical!

Mexico won’t extradite rapists, drug lords and cop killers to the US, so I don’t see why they deserve special treatment for a petty misdemeanor such as “Deprivation of Liberty.”

If Mexico wishes to have their tourist trade boycotted by going after American heroes, that’s fine for them then. But America has always stood for truth and justice, and must continue to do so. Abandoning these men to be extradited to what is surely their untimely, horrific deaths in a foreign prison is not in the interests of either of those things, neither is violating their constitutional rights!

If this is permitted to happen, ANY of us could be next!

FREE THE DOG!!

We found Dog by chance whilst spending some time in the Southland of America last year. Became hooked and were delighted to find it in England. The Chapman family come over as really good, sincere people and we wish them all the best. It seems a long time since any comments appeared on this site, so does anyone knowthe latest news please?
