Personally I think it is rediculous considering they had already gone through this. Mexican authorities knew he was coming for Andrew Luster why didnt they capture Luster and turn him over to Dog when he entered into Mexico?

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!!!!

I think this is ridiculous. Andrew Luster has 86 counts of rape. They were evil rapes. They want DOG in Mexican prison. I think the reason must be that Mexico is corrupt and Andrew Luster is from the Max Faxtor family. They must be getting money for this and they do not care about morality because it is big money to them. Mexico works a great deal on money unfortunately. I do not think any American should be turned over to Mexico. If we feel they did something wrong we can deal with it here. Perhaps Dog could have coordinated it better with the FBI. Perhaps a slap on the wrist would be sufficient. A warning not to go into another country for Dog and others. A warning to do this without the coordination of the government.

Laws are laws, and Dog knew this when he went in to apprehend Luster...but the bottom line is, a rapist is now off the streets and Dog gets the bounty for it, he'll get over his legal matters, he may look a bit unorthodox, but his heart is in the right place....

Good point.
Okay I am changing my answer, Luster is a bastard who needs to burn in hell and Dog did us all a huge favor. I can't believe they are dragging Dog in for something that happened in 2003! Luster jumped a million dollar bail! He had 86 counts of rape.
Screw Martha.. FREE DOG!

I think Andrew Luster is a wealthy and powerful man that is able to bribe Mexican authorities.
It would not be a first, believe me!

It is a travesty of justice..because Luster is so rich...That's the only reason this has gone as far as it has...If it were you or I he had captured....We'd be rotting in jail and Dog would be free to capture more sicko's like Luster...WE LOVE DOG, LELAND, and TIM

Mexican gov't wanted Luster turned over to them.
The arrest was payback for not cooperating.

I compare his arrest to every soldier sent to war. The Government doesn't care, their just glad they're not the ones doing the dirty work.
