Somebody just got wealthy.
It would have played out very differently had this happened in Alabama.
In NY, not such a big deal.
I knew a bounty hunter years ago and he was one of the most dangerous people I've ever seen. He was going to hurt the bail runner. It was an automatic thing. If the runner resisted or not, he was going to the hospital.
I didn't watch it but am assuming the bounty hunters busted in his house. To be honest I am torn on it. I have some strict rules for my techs. No equipment left in trucks. Some were paid to use their personal trucks. I would go to their hotels at night checking to see if my equipment was in the vehicle. Zero shits cared. 20k of my stuff is in your truck, either come down now and hand my stuff over or breaking the window. Am sure the bondsman need their bond the same way I needed my equipment to make money. 2x I had my equipment in vehicles unlocked. 1st time a thief ran off with 20k worth of stuff the 2nd time I took it out of dudes personal truck.
You'd break someone's window on their POV? Sounds like you're a real jewel to work for. Stalking around at night checking on your employees.....SMH.I didn't watch it but am assuming the bounty hunters busted in his house. To be honest I am torn on it.

Did these assclowns have a search warrant for this house? Or was there just an arrest warrant for failure to appear?The title of this thread is stupid.
If a Bounty Hunter is seeking to arrest you, then there IS a warrant. They can not make warrantless arrests in an official capacity, though, like any citizen, they can make an arrest for a felony committed in their view. (really a detention until law enforcement arrives).
Bounty hunters are private citizens, not government agents, the Constitution of the United States, for those that apparently don't know, limits what the GOVERNMENT can do, not a private citizen.
Laws passed by the legislature, whether state or federal, limit was a citizen can do.
As such, they are generally given a lot of latitude in entering domicles etc... to make an arrest.
If you shoot one, you may not be charged with murder, but would certainly face the possibility of harboring a fugitive (or whatever your state penal code calls it) since, that person they are seeking to arrest HAS A FUCKING WARRANT.
So the state can use private citizens to enforce a court warrant? Those private citizens doing the will of the court can violate any laws to do so with immunity?

That is almost always the issue. People dont care. Some guys want to be contractors to make better money and i help a few out. I have comapany vehicles for employees.I think you need to invest in work vans that are covered under insurance if you are dealing with tools likely worth more than the employees car.
That last fact alone should be a clue that perhaps your shit wont be given the care you yourself require of it.

Yeah my rules if you want to use my stuff. Obviously you have no idea what its like to work in the hoods. Im looking out for those guys too. If my stuff is stolen the tech is out of work till it is replaced. If it is a contractor he might lose 5k+ per week. Plus he has to pay for the stuff stolen. A fusion splicer is 10k, ribbon splicer is 15k and the otdr is 10 to 20k. One tech can have carry all of that and then some with hand tools that always run 1k a piece. Im sorry if you are offended but that is no easy pill to swallow. Staying in business is more important than a 200 dollar window. Imagine an ammo manufacturer employee has an expensive part stolen out of his pov that shuts the whole plant down for a month. You'd definately wished he had a boss keeping up with their shit.Your screen name and your post are in conflict.

Change your rules to make the subcontractor have the vehicle to secure your tools. Possibly even require a sub to have a deposit for using your tools. There's better ways to go about the situation.Yeah my rules if you want to use my stuff. Obviously you have no idea what its like to work in the hoods. Im looking out for those guys too.

You suffer from an intentional refusal to understand.So you didn't read your link? They did not have a warrant. They have a civil contract. They are not doing the will of the court. They are enforcing the contract. They can not enter any house they want because of suspicion.
You suffer from an intentional refusal to understand.
A bond revocation results in a warrant, if someones bond is revoked, it is revoked by the court and a warrant is issued.
It is typically a failure to appear warrant, though bond can be revoked for violating your bond conditions.
in regards to the civil contract, it states that they can NOT revoke a bond simply due to non-payment, that it is a civil contract, subject to civil remedies.
The bail bondsman contracts with the bounty hunter for a bond recovery.
The bounty hunter is NOT associated with the court, they are NOT court agents, they are private contractors that contract with the bail bondsman, sometimes, they are employees of that bail bondsman.
Again, you refuse to understand."That person they are seeking to arrest HAS A FUCKING WARRANT" was your exclamation. Your statement reads like it is okay for them to act as law enforcement enforcing a warrant. Which is false. They are enforcing the contract. They don't have authority to arrest they probably cover their ass in the contract to detain and turn over to law enforcement but they don't have authority to arrest anyone. Further more they don't have authority to kick down doors or search random houses. Yes, this was a relative of the jumper. In your own link, you can read, it states they may enter the home of the person contracted with. If they had suspicion he was in his brothers house they should have let law enforcement deal with that.
I’ll state it once again.
It was the guys BROTHERS house they were invading.
it’s a flat out law suite against the bounty hunters and charges should be filed. At minimum assault with a deadly weapon.
They had ZERO authority to enter whatever house they feel like.
Brother’s house once again. Not the bail jumpers.
Bullshit.Blah blah blah. You are not going to admit that you implied that they have the authority to arrest and enforce the court warrant. That was my original question that you have danced around.
I hope you are not in law enforcement
He had an active warrant, the issue here are several. It was a Pa warrant in NY. The folks attempting to execute the arrest warrant were bounty hunters.I guess times have changed. My agency, and the agencies that helped us execute any warrants ALWAYS confirmed the warrant prior to taking action on it. If we were going looking for Joe Blow, we always had C-com (central communications) confirm the warrant before we would go to the house looking for him. Doing things that was dramatically reduced potential civil liability.
so let’s say, just for fun, that YOUR brother has a warrent out. and bounty hunters come to YOUR house, and pull this shit on YOU.Bullshit.
They DO have authority to arrest on the warrant. I made that plain as fucking day.
I said they had no authority to arrest withOUT a warrant.
See my quote from above:"As such, they are generally given a lot of latitude in entering domicles etc... to make an arrest."
You kept insisting they were officers of the court, they are not.
You are full of shit.
I walk outside my hotel room and look. This is where not knowing enough about a trade and commenting on it isnt wise. Here is another reason why the equipment shouldnt be in their truck. Ex, customer damages verizon 288ct. 400 tickets are created. My customer is receiving 60k per hour down charges. Billy bob the lazy idiot bucked the system thinking i should get more secure trucks shows up to this all hands on deck job. Suddenly he realizes the equipment was stolen. Now verizon cancels my contract and customer b who did the damage cancels contract also. A bunch of damn yankees are pissed cause their cell phones are slow as shit and the primer manufacturer cant repair the software glitch without the internet to load patch.There's plenty of trucks that are used with as much in value. There's vehicles designed to be secured. If your shit is that valuable then it seems appropriate to be able to secure it.
Change your rules to make the subcontractor have the vehicle to secure your tools. Possibly even require a sub to have a deposit for using your tools. There's better ways to go about the situation.
No offense on my part. I just think it's funny that you are sneaking around at night checking doors.
Well, my brother wouldn't, but for arguments sake, if he DID have a warrant, I would invite them in to pick him up.so let’s say, just for fun, that YOUR brother has a warrent out. and bounty hunters come to YOUR house, and pull this shit on YOU.
you still cool with it?
Not really sure how destroying an employees property fits in the topic......but anywho.....I did watch the video and I propose that in the end, as expected....ASGH....and based upon the direction this thread has taken, I leave members with this brutal confrontation....I didn't watch it but am assuming the bounty hunters busted in his house. To be honest I am torn on it. I have some strict rules for my techs. No equipment left in trucks. Some were paid to use their personal trucks. I would go to their hotels at night checking to see if my equipment was in the vehicle.

I'll try to explain again.let's just get straight to the central issue:
whether the entry of the third party's home by the bounty hunter was unlawful or lawful
i am not aware of any search warrant to enter the third party's home and i am not aware of any exceptions/exigent circumstances that would justify the entry of the third party's home by the bounty hunter
generally an arrest warrant would not allow entry into a third party's home to execute the warrant unless an exception to the warrant requirement was present at the time of the entry. unless the third party was a co-signor or something on whatever contract there was with the bail bonding company, i don't see that contract forming any basis for lawful entry either
i think most think this was an unlawful entry of the home based on what we know at this time
is there anyone on the side of this being a lawful entry of the third party's home by the bounty hunter that can state exactly what the legal basis is for it being a lawful entry?
