Dog the Bounty Hunter Arrested!!

09/14/2006 05:30:33 PM · #1

WTF is wrong with our legal system? This man goes to Mexico and finds a convicted rapest. Andrew Luster was convicted of butally rapeing 3 women. He then fled to Mexico, after thousands of cops, fbi and bounty hunters could not find him, Dog the Bounty hunter does. Today he was arrested for this in the USA, He was arrested for capturing a convicted rapest that fled to Mexico. Is that what we are teaching people? If you commit a crime flea to Mexico, because no one will be alowed to bring you back to the USA for trial.

Has nothing to do with the US legal system.

He broke the law in Mexico. Bounty Hunting is illegal there, what he did was considered kidnapping. If he's charged in Mexico, the US has an obligation to arrest him if Mexico requests extradition.

It's BS, but laws are laws and Dog should know that.

Watching the video, it seems more of a political ploy by Mexico, though.

just like all the people who come into the USA from Mexico that obey the laws of the land.. lol Why don't we trade for him. We will give 10,000 mexican prisoners from various state and federal prisons in exchange for one bounty hunter. sounds fair enough ?

Do you think if someone said that to him when he was apprehending them he would care less....no way, do the crime do the time.

He should know better.

Mexico does have extradition agreements with the US.

If you are suggesting that people can just go to other countries and ignore the local laws since "it's not illegal back home" then keep in mind that using your reasoning, people could come to the US and do all sorts of things you would find reprehensible.

Dog should have known better.

just because you are allowed to break things in your own house do not mean you can go to other people's house and break things.

we must respect and obey other people's law when we are on their grounds.

So I was wrong then I would like to know why dog had to go get him. Why didn't they send him back. I respect the law and generally don't encourage breaking them however if it were my wife or daughter I would be defending him.

Also why does everyone flee to Mexico if they would send them back?

So we should let someone rape 3 women, let them violate them in such a way we could never understand. Then let them go, but make sure we don't brake any laws to apprehend them. Thats the problem with America we always have to fight with a white hat and never get it dirty.

screw that.

I don't know the details why the Mexican authorities didn't arrest him, maybe they didn't know he was there, maybe the guy was paying them off, maybe the US didn't know he was there to ASK for him to be arrested. If he hasn't done anything illegal in Mexico, without being asked by the US, the Mexican authorities can't arrest him.

Dog didn't have to go after the guy. Dog chose to go. He should have known better.

And I'm quite sure we're more than happy to let the Mexican army come over our border and let them get their criminals hiding in our country...

Well, we don't have to deal with that 'cuz if they send us a lawful extradition request we will comply. The question here would be, DID the Feds send such a request to Mexico and they refused to comply? And if so, what's to be done about it? If the answer is no, we never sent one, then Dog the Bounty Hunter is way, way over the line. Not that he isn't over the line either way, but I'd feel better making the snatch if I knew they were refusing to cooperate, anyway...

Also, note that the snatch occurred in 2003, and they're only just now getting Dog extradited. Presumably there's been a lot of stuff going on in the background through the intervening 4 years, so...

Heck, what do I know? Nada, that's what. Ignore these ramblings. I'm in the camp that says "Any bounty hunter that crosses into Mexico to make his snatch is utterly out of his mind!" I have some experience with Mexican police and their legal system...

OK, I actually read a few articles. This story is just dripping with irony.

Dog, makes his living by tracking down bail jumpers. While doing said job in Mexico, he is arrested for refusing to give up one of his captures to the Mexican police. He is then arrested. He posts bail and...wait for it...flees back to the US missing his court date.

Then the irony takes on a whole new level. This thread is complaining that the Mexican government isn't doing its job by extraditing a criminal (Luster, Dog's capture) to the US. Dog is then forced to do the job. In doing so, Dog possibly breaks Mexican law. He flees back to the US. Now Mexico asks for the US to extradite the possible criminal (Dog in this case) back to their country; but now we're complaining that the US might actually follow through.

Ah, it just doesn't get any better than that...

Yeah, that's perfect LOL. I KNEW there was a backstory here. And I'd assume that for the past several year's Dog's attorneys have been fighting the extradition order, and finally exhausted all their avenues of recourse, thus the time gap?

So the Feds are being criticized in this thread for DOING what the Federales are being criticized for NOT doing, plus we got the "jingo" comment that we're bigger than they are so who's gonna stop us, and the entertainment value is moving right up the charts, isn't it?

Here's the classic quote from his wife:

"â��If Duane has to return to Mexico to take care of any misunderstanding, then thatâ��s what he will do,â�� she said outside the courthouse."

Ummm, yeah, after he's arrested...
