Bounty Hunters- end them.
On the national news, a guy wanted for northing more than

credit card fraud

had bounty hunters enter his home { breaking in?} and he shot to defend himself... hitting his dad by error.

This is palpable nonsense.

End all bounty hunting.

2. Bounty hunters perform an important function
They can go places and do things that no police agency can.

4. Bounty hunters.
A bounty hunter most of whom now prefer to be called.
bail recovery agents. DO NOT arrest people of credit card fraud. The only time a bounty hunter go after someone is when they fail to appear for court and their bond or bail is revoked by the court. I have done this kind of work in the past. You have old family member that puts up their home as bond for a grandchild who has been arrested and the that child does not show up for court. The court will/can order the bail forfeit and the family member could lose their home. On the other hand the family member can hire a bail recovery agent to locate and bring that person to the court. The bounty hunter's authority is from an old Supreme Court decision which stated that a bail recovery agent can go anywhere to arrest the person on bond who violates that bond.
