"Bounty hunters' error is Rutherford woman's terror"

[armoredman]

My dogs aren't quite the killers, (cocker spaniels), but they go nuts barking when someone is at the door, and will distract long enough for me to fire. My weapon is never off my body - too many ex-inmates out there that really don't like me for some reason, (something about gas and Taser, I disremember...), and at night is well withing reach, as is a loaded long gun.

Inmates

Armored man;
Yes, I spent 10 years extracting slave labor out of the poor, abused and misunderstood dears, why I keep 2 .45's and 2 shotguns around and shall shoot first if someone comes banging on my door at night.

The ignorance of the law as it relates to the Bail is interesting... Understandable, but interesting nonetheless.

The Bail has a lot of power granted by English Common Law and Contract Law. Read up on it. A few states have taken steps to reign in these powers. A few, by no means all or even most.

Most bounty hunters and skip-tracers (Agents of the Bail) are quite qualified and law abiding, um, within the framework of common law. It is a few mavericks and rogue agents that get publicized.

I bump into bounty hunters (the guys that go out and fulfill the contract, not just the bond writers) from time to time in my gig. IME they are far more careful than even the police.

This has been my experience as well after meeting a number of *actual* bounty hunters. However i am sure that there are a lot of cut-rate loonies out there who probably work REAL cheap and cause all sorts of trouble.

Quality "recovery agents" are obscenely cautious. Having a nasty incident can put them in jail, and more importantly cost them their living. Bondsmen do not want dead clients or bad publicity, and giving them such means you get to find a new career.

Yes. It's one of those oversized pickup truck tires. The dog is a little over 900 pounds.

No wonder you built such a huge door...

N.J. Police Officer Arrested In Case Of Botched Bounty Hunter Grab
Cop Accused Of Filing False Police Reports

RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- A Rutherford police sergeant is suspended without pay, charged with official misconduct in the case of a woman who said she was mistakenly grabbed by bounty hunters.

Sgt. Nicholas Loizzi is accused of filing false police reports. The 42-year-old has been on the force 18 years.

Two other officers, who have not been named, were placed on administrative leave.

Claudia Santana claimed three officers last month allowed her to be taken from her home in handcuffs and driven about 30 miles away even though she insisted she was not the fugitive they were looking for.

Santana said the bounty hunters released her outside a police station in Morris County when the men realized their error.

Often it is not the crime, it is the cover-up...

He stepped on his jimmy twice, the second time he was wearing golf shoes.
