Dog the Bounty Hunter was extridited to mexico for a misdemeanor of kidnapping. He took a fuguitive from mexico who subsequently got 120 years for the rapes, drug trafficking etc!
I guess the new prez of mexico doesnt like the fact that dog removed scum from his country so he asked the us to issue a warrant for his arrest. I mean- I love my country and all but since when is it a crime to take trash off the streets?? And since WHEN did it become ok to extradite to another country for just a misdemeanor? I mean you cant even be extradited to another STATE for a misdemeanor! Whats really going on??

Bounty hunting is illegal in Mexico, and even though Dog caught a pretty bad guy there and had him returned to the U.S. to face trial, he was breaking Mexican law.
He was arrested in Mexico at the time and charged with bounty hunting. His bail agreement in Mexico required him to check in regularly with the court. Apparently, he didn't.
What Dog is famous for is catching people who skip bail.
So the most interesting news is that Dog got busted for skipping bail, himself.
BTW: Mexico's new president didn't have anything to do with it; he hasn't taken office yet.

You answered your own question. The new prez. of Mexico is a bored man with nothing better to do then to cause problems in other countrys. He should be worried about his own country if you ask me. I want to know if there is a statue of limitations on this. After all the man was doing his job and trying to make the streets safer for everyone. Last time I checked there was nothing illegal against that.

Its against the law to kidnap someone from any country, regardless ofwhat they did. You have to go through the courts. bounty hunters don't live by laws. a few years ago, some American bounty hunters kidnapped a Canadian Man. took him to somewhere in the southern Us and held him prisoner for weeks without letting him make a phone call until a court case came up only to be told that thy knew they had the wrong man. then they just left him there, with no money or ID.

It is true
TV reality star and international bounty hunter Duane "Dog" Chapman has been arrested in Hawaii, MSNBC reported.
Chapman made a big name for himself back in 2003 when he tracked down fugitive Max Factor heir Andrew Luster in Mexico.
Along with Chapman, two family members have also been arrested for extradition to Mexico.
Chapman's wife told MSNBC's Rita Cosby that heavily armed U.S. marshals arrived at the family's house Thursday and took away Chapman, his brother, Tim, and son, Leland.
Cosby said she was told that Mexican government officials wanted the three men sent back there in relation to a three-year-old case.
In 2003, the Chapmans went to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, to retrieve Max Factor heir Andrew Luster, who was wanted in the U.S. on rape charges.
Luster is now in jail, serving a 124-year term, but at the time, the Chapmans were also jailed by Mexican authorities for a brief time three years ago.
Bounty hunting is considered a crime in Mexico.
At the time, the Chapmans were charged by Mexican authorities with illegally capturing Luster. The three returned to the United States after posting bail of their own.

I think that Andrew Luster's lawyers have something to do with it. They must have paid off the new mexican government to press charges. Or else why would it have taken 3 years for this to have come up?
And yes, a state will not extradite just for a misdemeanor. 90% of the time counties won't even extradite for a misdemeanor unless it's alot of them, or the county is right next to the other one where the person is stopped at.

I haven't heard this, but I doubt that in any state in the US, that kidnapping is less than a second degree felony. Also, some states do extradite for misdemeanors. Mine is one of them.
I don't think his blond mullet will be an advantage for him in a Mexican jail or prison.

The whole thing is ridiculous.
Since when does the United States take orders from Mexico?
I wish there was a way to get DOG out of jail myself.

Havent heard anything about it, but if its true then that sucks! What a crock-o-crap when Mexico regularly hides Mexican nationals from the US when we want to prosecute them for crimes they commit on American soil... i.e. the Mexican citizen who was paid to off a lawyer's ex-wife then ran home.

I looked this up and dog was in trouble with the Mexican authorities in 2003. It had to do with the Lustre(?) case. The Mexican authorities dropped it. People should check their facts before posting.

This stinks and is one more reason that I have absolutely no use for Mexico.
