Just wondering if anybody has seen this Bounty Hunter show on HBO? These guys wear some sort of badge around their necks and basically do armed home invasions on people and then take them away in cuffs all under the title of being a "bail bondsman". Does anyone know where they draw their authority from?

P.S. they make the Gotti family look like NASA Engineers.

I think maybe from PCP or speed



I watched it for about 5min the other day and thought it was rediculous. It really got me wondering if they were doing it legally. I thought bounty hunters could only apprehend people in public, anyone know? I know that if someone breaks my door down they better knock and say "police" first.

If you have watched "Dog the Bounty Hunter" on A&E, it is the same situation...they bust doors down, too. I can only assume the law is FAR more liberal re: bounty hunters in those states vs. Mass...anybody know the answer?

PS - At least "Dog" is humorous...the Bail Bonds guys are skeevy!

I got rid of HBO so I can't comment on the show. It doesn't sound like something I'd watch even if I did have it. I just don't watch much TV anyway, and if I watch at all, it's the History Channel, Discovery Channel, The Learning Channel, and whatever station the Eagles are on.

I'm a geek, what can I say. :P

I have done this bounty collecting as my friends call it. say i am the best at it. i grab a list of targets and stick them in my pocket then I Walk around the city and talk to a few of my friends. none of them helped me out this day and the bad thing was this seems to happen every day!!!! so i walked my way to a run down district like always when this HUG HUHE 290pound man with the muciles size of my head!! i looked at my targets and bingo! so i walked after him for a while and watch him walk into a bar and sit down with a friend he was doing some dirty bussnes with so i sat down at the bar got a smoke and watched with a small watch meiror wich is very help full if you think about it. so after a hour and fifteen min i decided to sit down next to him so i did and he grabed my coat he knew how i was so i played dumm and walked out with him thinking about what to do for some more fun. well having my luck his friend decided to help him so they bolth tried to grab some guns and then bamm i had kicked him into his friend how hell like a true wait and broke his arm wich was holding his gun. ouch... then i kicked the gun out of the hug guys hands and took them in for a huge award!!! this was probly all luck and i thought it was fun..."
