Actually I’ve never seen Dawg go into a house without permission. Maybe I missed a few episodes.
The law everywhere says the bounty hunter is supposed to turn the perps into the local autorities. That’s typically not done because of the cost of extradition. So, they’re actually kidnapping them when they take them across state lines. But, the perp usually doesn’t have very good standing to complain. Like I said, he signed away his rights when he was bonded out.
I have seen any number of illegal actions by him and his crew. However, the production company gets the people not to file complaints.
At this point the show is pretty much staged and they are not doing a lot of it in Hawaii. They are not real popular there and there is increasing disruption of their filming locally. Even reality shows are real PITA to neighbors and all it takes is one boombox to mess up the audio.
Sooner or later someone will figure out it would be their 15 minutes of fame and get them a mentioned in Wikipedia to take out Dog or one of his gang.
