Question

Answer 1

its there Law..You have to abide them, And Dog should have known that

Answer 2

Dog the Bounty Hunter Special appeared on A&E last night. Critics may dismiss his plight because they see his show as a novelty. But I say to you this is of great import because there are three men’s lives at stake. This certainly deserves the attention of the public and the US government.

I am so incensed at his arrest and possible extradition back to Mexico. The whole thing is disgusting.


Duane “Dog” Chapman’s life and the life of son Leland & brother Tim hang in the balance over a minor misdemeanor – the capture of Andrew Luster – notorious rapist now serving 124 year sentence in prison.

While in custody in a US federal detention facility, their lives were threatened by familiar faces and other inmates seeking revenge for his bounty hunting profession. The Mexican prison’s conditions would be worse and they would most likely not live to serve the 4 month to 4 year sentence that misdemeanor carries.

“…. Mexico routinely declines to extradite suspects facing life in prison or the death penalty. Mexico's Supreme Court, which favors rehabilitation and views capital punishment and no-parole sentences as cruel, has blocked numerous extraditions until U.S. authorities agreed to lower the potential punishment a suspect faced in an American court.”

“Mexico itself has a mixed track record for returning fugitives. In the case of American citizens who flee to Mexico, it can take U.S. officials months or even years to get a fugitive returned if they have a good lawyer.”

I hope the Department of Justice does not let the American people down and three of its very fine citizens that need its help. Keep the Dog Free!!!!

Answer 3

Because mexico is obviously getting a kickback from the drug lords down there . I feel Mexico should have gotten the fugitive down there and turned him over to the U.S. . Dog was just doing his job by going after that low life that he is . He had not stopped commiting crimes either,he was still commiting crimes in Mexico.So as far as I am concerned Mexico needs to drop the issue or face making an international incident. because of this I will never visit Mexico again and i urge all americans to boycott mexican vacation spots as they harbor fugitives.

"Dog" may have a license to chase after criminals in Hawaii and the other islands but he does not have a license to grab anyone or go onto anyone's property without permission or apprehend and hold anyone in another country.

It's like some police officer coming to your state and knocking down a door and arresting some criminal here without being a citizen, without having a license and without any permission!

It's simple, Dog was wrong and he should've known better. He disrespected the soverignty of another country and he broke the law... regardless of the fact that he apprehended a criminal, someone who was accused and tried in absentia but, nonetheless, convicted of a crime.

No foreign government can send an agent to arrest you here, and the same applies with other countries. What is so wrong with that? Do you think Dog was the first one to do that? Think again! They got tired of the b/s and acted upon it.

Hey, Dog knows how the laws go... he ain't a stupid puppy... he KNOWS he did wrong and he should be willing to fess up like he tells those he apprehends using bully tactics and entering people's homes without permission and getting onto their property and wagging a finger in their faces in their own property! And then he continues disrespecting them by talking to them as if they were HIS children (and that goes for his ugly piggy wife with the big mouth!).

The reason you don't "get it" is because you think that because Dog is an American he should have special favors and special priviledges... hey, that ain't the way life goes! Learn something about laws and you'll surely "get it."

Answer 5

Because Mexico is corrupt and backward. They have the greatest opportunity of all countries with their close proximity to the US and what have they done with it? You don't see millions of Canadians fleeing from extreme poverty into the US everyday. Mexico sucks unwashed donkey balls. I would never go there even if I was a fugitive. Maybe the fugitives are good for Mexico's economy.

Answer 6

Because they lack the government clearance to chase criminals outside America.... Being that they are not better than paramilitary... If he only had of listened to my suggestion to hunt illegals in this country he wouldn't be having that problem.... At least a white man will have to face justice... and he won't be getting first class treatment with taxpayer dollars....

Answer 7

It was the responsibility of the U.S. to contact the Mexican government about any criminals hiding there that they may want extradicted for convictions of crimes and to let the Federales capture them and hold them until proper U.S. authorities could take custody. Dog should have known this procedure and the incident should have never happened. It's mostly because the criminal in this case was high-profile and a large reward was involved that he got involved.

Answer 8

Becuase it's the federal government's job to do the bounty hunting down there.

Answer 9

because out of 1000 bounty hunters there is only one dog...you really think he will be convicted in a Mexican court???

Answer 10

Mexicans actually enforce their laws about crossing their borders

Did you know that you can't even purchase land in Mexico unless you are native-born?

Answer 11

Americans should stay out of Mexico. They are our enemy not our friend.
