Why is bounty hunting illegal in Mexico?

Question

Serious answers only. Thank you!

Answer 1

because the government passed a law declaring it illegal to cut down on kidnapping, murder, etc.

Answer 2

I think it's fairly obvious why bounty hunting would be considered unlawful by some countries, *especially* countries that have a hard enough time as it is keeping their official policemen on the straight and narrow.

The obvious concern when it comes to bounty hunting is that you'll end up with basically a mob of thugs going around trampling on people's rights (doing illegal searches, destroying property, holding innocent people against their will, etc etc), interfering with official police investigations, and not being accountable to anyone.

I think a better question would be "Why is bounty hunting legal in the United States?"

I'm not necessarily saying it should be illegal. I have mixed feelings on that. On the one hand, I think it's a good thing that we can get some help from the private sector to track down criminals, which would otherwise be bogging down thousands and thousands of police officers. On the other hand, there are some serious dangers to Joe Citizen's civil rights when so much power is given to what basically amounts to a private army.

As for Dog The Bounty Hunter, I think he deserves whatever criminal sentence he gets. Yeah, it kinda sucks that he's getting in trouble for bringing in some scumbag criminal, but the more important point is that he went to another country and knowingly, blatantly disregarded their laws. That's extreme arrogance, and he shouldn't expect to get off just because he's a famous American.

It would be one thing if the law he was accused of breaking was some kind of repressive law that violates basic human rights, like a law against reading a certain book, or a law against drawing cartoons of Mohammad. That's not the case though. He went in there like a cowboy and just ignored Mexican law.

Answer 3

He did it to make a acceptance for himself...i might definitely say that he has succeeded in doing that...by means of how...bounty searching isn't unlawful..while a bonding corporation writes out a bond for a individual and that they don't manifest in court docket...they are going to lose their money and quite of dropping their money they hire bounty hunters to discover and produce returned the fugitive...they don't could shop on with the comparable rule as cops. to illustrate, a police officer has to acquire a seek warrant to leaf by using somebody's domicile, a bounty hunter can kick the door in, if mandatory. dogs Rocks!

Answer 4

If it were legal, it would mean that they would just have even more lawlessness on their hands and it would really cause an uptick in violence in an already volatile section of a country that is dealing with kidnappings etc.

Answer 5

Because they are all wanted for something somewhere so enforcing laws is taboo.
