Yeah, even bounty hunters have to obey the law. How crazy is that?
Did Mexico honor extradition treaties with the U.S. regarding this perp? No! They didn't lift a finger to apprehand him and return him to the U.S. Dog did precisely what I would want him to and both governments didn't.
I am no fan of Chapman. But,,,,,,
This guy is in business. He is a TV star. He is totally prominent. Why in the name of logic does it take the US Marshalls service 15 people to go bust in his door in the middle of the night and arrest him? It seems like the USMS is loaded with a bunch of punks who knew that this would make the news and they wanted to be photographed.
In reality, all they would have had to do was to give this guy a call and tell him to come down to their office at a pre-set time to discuss some business, and he would have gone. This deal stinks. Our system is seriously flawed, and this is prima facia evidence of it. Chapman is a jerk, and totally unrealistic of the business, but that doesnt keep him from being treated fairly in this situation.
Mexican law protects U.S. copkillers and bailjumpers. Dog is a U.S. citizen following U.S. law and arrested a bail- jumper in Mexico. Now U.S. bureaucrats are going to turn him (a U.S. citizen) over to corrupt Mexican officials? I say that any magistrate, judge, and bureaucrats involved should be named and fired - they can apply for new jobs in Mexico.
