“...an AI facial recognition tool and that the tool provided a 79% recognition match to the man they were looking for, the affidavit said.”

How the heck do you green light your harebrained operation at 79%?

The man wanted for capital murder fled to Iraq. Could that possibly mean that he is an Iraqi? Naw, don’t want to jump to conclusions.

“Three bounty hunters face kidnapping charges...”

When these dudes go to TDC, they will learn very good lesson on bounty hunting.

Wouldn’t that mean that 21% of the world could look that similar?

Crazy!

Just such as this is what set Jesse James off.

I saw the movie.

Cutting a client’s hair warrants a flash bang and going in screaming brandishing AR-15s?

Unless there is more to the story and this version of events if false, even if he was the right guy, this behavior doesn’t appear to be warranted.

Those bounty hunters should get max charges. Add terrorism to the list.

That is a good way for someone to end up dead.

The bounty hunters told police they used an AI facial recognition tool and that the tool provided a 79% recognition match to the man they were looking for, the affidavit said.

And now everybody sing.....!

Bounty Hunters no no...

Wrong. This is how the bail bond business catches people who skip out. Bounty Hunters have been around since the concept of bailing out of jail began.

However, Bounty Hunters have to make sure they do everything just right. For sure, they have to be certain they have the right person.

My point was Cops can kill the wrong people at the wrong address and it is fine. Bounty hunters get thrown in jail for less.

Here is where LE become a special class with special privileges and immunities. They are both “just doing their jobs” for the legal system to keep criminals off the Streets.

Bounty Hunters have to get licensed, cleared, and are under the same legal scrutiny as Officers.

It is a double standard...

>>Too bad the “bounty hunters” are still alive

Years ago, two bounty hunters tracked their target to a Dallas (Texas, y’all) car dealership sales office and went in to arrest him.

As the target was seated, he pulled a gun and fired at the two bounty hunters from just feet away. The bounty hunters returned fire from a couple of feet away and one BH firing with his gun touching the body of the target.

All were shot multiple times and all three died in the office.

This was also a FR thread with CCTV video of the event.
