Dog the Bounty Hunter, known mostly by his widely popular A&E show, has been denied of his injunction request to not be tried in Mexico, since the lawyers believe he will not have a fair trial.
The entire ordeal started when Dog captured convicted rapist Andrew Luster, the Max Factor heir, in 2003. Since bounty hunting is illegal in Mexico, Dog and his associates were arrested but all three posted bail. Under the faulty advice of a Mexican lawyer, Dog was told he and his associates could leave Mexico after posting the bail. In an ironic twist, Dog and his associates became bail jumpers themselves, and were picked up by federal authorities last year.
As of now, the Mexican court still wants to try Dog and his associates for the illegal bounty hunting along with jumping bail. If convicted, Dog and his associates will face up to four years in Mexican jail.
Let’s all pray for Dog and his family. He has done nothing but good, and with the Luster case, he did what no other person would have done. And if Luster were still on the streets, other women could have and probably would have been victims of his evil ways. Dog and his associates are heroes, and let’s hope all goes well. - RogerStrong, on 10/12/2007, -26/+128"Let’s all pray for Dog and his family. He has done nothing but good"
This might come as a surprise to the guy he murdered a few years back. Or the victims in his 18 arrests for armed robbery. Plus the victims of whatever crimes he wasn't caught for. It might also come as a surprise to the woman who had her back broken when Dog & Co threw her down the stairs while catching someone else.
For those of you who think that Dog should be able to kidnap people in other countries, ask yourself this: Should people from other countries be allowed to kidnap people in the U.S.? There was one case a few years back where it took ten years to extradite an American kidnapper (a police officer yet) from the U.S. to Canada. Should Canadians have been allowed to grab him off a Chicago street? Especially Canadians with a background in armed robbery and murder?
This is an especially important question, now that the CIA is kidnapping people from places like Italy and Austria - without convictions, and only heresay evidence. And some of those agents have been indicted in European courts. The US certainly will not hand them over; should Europe simply grab them in the US and smuggle them out?
Once you open the door to this, you have little control over who uses it. If US policy is that yes, kidnapping people in other countries is A-OK, it won't be just Canada or Mexico or Italy joining the party. China and Iran can just as easily declare someone a criminal and take advantage of this policy too. - TheCash, on 10/12/2007, -32/+114Only in Mexico, where the cops are more crooked then the criminals, would a guy get thrown in jail for bringing an escaped convicted rapist to justice.
I need to cancel my spring break vacation... think I'll go to the Cayman's instead. ***** Mexico. - BenFaist, on 10/12/2007, -30/+88No, he was stopping a sexual preditor...Its BS that they are merely using him as a public example.
- EmperorAwesome, on 10/12/2007, -27/+68It doesn't really matter that he's a celebrity or whatever, so those arguments should stop right here and now. The point is - he's a bounty hunter, and THAT'S why he should get a free pass. That's just so damned cool. Would you sent Boba Fett to jail? I think not.
- sysoprock, on 10/12/2007, -5/+40Dog's wife's titties were unavailable for comment.
- saurdo, on 10/12/2007, -8/+40You're bitching about his bitching.
- LowRentDiggs, on 10/12/2007, -14/+41Vigilante justice is a good thing? I like "Dog" for the most part but his ignorance of Mexican law is no excuse for breaking it, regardless of how just his cause was.
- virtualball, on 10/12/2007, -4/+29Well, I'm usually all for the whole "if I submittied it 45 minutes ago, why are you doing it!" argument but if you didn't front page 2 days ago, doesn't mean somebody else shouldn't submit it. I didn't know about it, and thanks to his dupe, now I do. It just sounds like you're bitter that you didn't front page.
Could just be me though - Tenlow, on 10/12/2007, -6/+31If you dont want to go to a mexican jail, dont break the law in mexico.
You cannot get away with crimes in another country just because you aren't from there. - Arkonnan, on 10/12/2007, -6/+31"Would you sent Boba Fett to jail? I think not."
I suppose it beats being tossed into the belly of a Sarlacc and being slowly digested over a period of a thousand years. - giveer, on 10/12/2007, -1/+26Inaccurate.
A federal court has approved that he CAN be extradited. That doesn't mean it has happened yet. yeesh. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -42/+66"sexual preditor"? or not. It was in sovereign country of Mexico. He has no right, to do anything like that.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -29/+51Thats whats ***** up with this world, a guy does something good and pays the price for it...
I dont give a ***** how he took that child molester into custody.
Im just happy he did it.
God bless you Dog. - solvable, on 10/12/2007, -33/+53Remember kiddies, You do good, You go to Mexican jail cell!
Mexico won't extradite the TONS of American murders to us.
Yet, We will extradite a good citzen for putting away a rapist that has 80+ charges.
This makes my stomach turn. - neeyo, on 10/12/2007, -11/+30How ironic... the first man we send back to mexico for breaking the law is a white dude.
- dclowd9901, on 10/12/2007, -0/+17"I suppose it beats being tossed into the belly of a Sarlacc and being slowly digested over a period of a thousand years."
I never got how that was so terrible. You would die of starvation or dehydration in a few days, thus rendering the following 1000 years pretty much obsolete. - avalenci, on 10/12/2007, -5/+22My god , you have NO idea of anything. Last year alone the were 63 extraditions to the US. http://www.latimes.com/news/printedition/asection/la-fg-mexico22jan22,1,6958639.story?coll=la-news-a_section
This guy broke a Mexican law. He will have a trial and a judge will decide if he has to be punished. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -9/+26With or without condom?
- SillyRabbits, on 10/12/2007, -7/+21"In Mexico Dogg could die in prison there is no level of garuantee he will survive this at all. "
Well, to quote Dog, "I you can't do the time, don't do the crime". He should have taken his own advise. It's not like he didn't know the law. The sole reason he did it was PR for himself and it's hard to feel sorry for him.
@r81984 Nowhere in the US law does it say you can go to a foriegn country and break their laws....as nice as that would be.... :) - cdcdark, on 10/12/2007, -1/+14You do realize that is a site about mirrors right?
- evossman, on 10/12/2007, -23/+36Yeah, he kinda wasn't thinking on this one. I still think he rocks though
- diggityiggity, on 10/12/2007, -2/+13@haydesigner,
That sound you hear is the joke zooming over your head. - TDoggyDogg, on 10/12/2007, -8/+19Good. He broke Mexican law. He got busted.
You all should be pissed that your American border and law enforcement people let that rapist guy down to Mexico in the first place. Dogg didn't go down there to capture a rapist you morons, he went there cuz if they didn't catch him, then Dogg would owe a lotta money to the justice system. Dogg does his business to make money, its a business! - SillyRabbits, on 10/12/2007, -6/+16Actually, he's just another PR whore. If you're finding any wisdom in the words he says, you're in pretty sorry shape.
Also, if you pay close attention to some of the subtleties in the show, he and his family don't seem like very nice people (even though they try to edit it out). - opensourcemaven, on 10/12/2007, -9/+19You just dealt with the DOG bitch.
- patch6, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10It might actually be to his advantage to be in a Mexican jail, since the corruption is much more rampant and he might just be able to buy himself out.
- thesauce, on 10/12/2007, -2/+12You know, if this was BATMAN who was getting extradited for the same thing, everyone here would be screaming in anger.
- cheekybastard, on 10/12/2007, -7/+16Cry me a river. He broke the law and now he has to pay the price, Dog of all people should know this. No one is above the law.
Just because you are an American, doesn't mean you have the right to violate the laws of other countries with impunity. Dog will provide a bright shining example for any other arrogant bastard who wishes to try the same stunt again. - SillyRabbits, on 10/12/2007, -6/+15They might be using him as a public example, but it's only because he went after the criminal as a PR stunt in the first place. The case was very high profile. If it hadn't been receiving so much publicity I'm sure the Mexican government wouldn't have even bothered. However, you can't so publicly ignore a country's laws and honestly expect them not to react. If Mexico doesn't do anything it would invite every other international bounty hunter to ignore their laws.
- freethinkerusa, on 10/12/2007, -9/+18Mullet = illegal activity
- PrometheuZ, on 10/12/2007, -7/+16So if you break the law in the U.S. and leave the country it's bad...but if you break the law in another country and you happen to be American and leave, then it's ok? You people are about as logically consistent as equating the sunlight to midnight. Let the pepper-spray packing cowboy of over-hyped bravado get a taste of what it's like from the other side of the bars for a change. His fellow 'brahs' in the prison will just love those long blonde locks.

"Spelling/grammer mistakes can rob you of all credability."
I see what you did there. - ScornForSega, on 10/12/2007, -1/+9"The new culture of America seems to be heading toward an Idiocracy."
Dog's got electrolytes? - rowlodge, on 10/12/2007, -1/+9did'nt like jail myself nor ever wish it on anybody, period. (much less in mexico)
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -7/+15Newsflash: Mexico doesn't recognize US law any more than the US recognizes Mexican law. Can't have it both ways. It was his business to know the laws of Mexico, and he failed to take it seriously, twice. He obviously doesn't have very good lawyers in any country.
- yesurbius, on 10/12/2007, -9/+16Why do Americans go abroad and feel the world is merely an American backyard? Why do they feel that American laws are universal, and they are above other country's laws? Its not just Bush doing it - everyday citizens do it - I've seen them abroad... making asses of themselves.
Its quite simple - if you are going to another country - make it a point to become a LITTLE bit familiar with the laws (and customs) of the country. - Cobber99, on 10/12/2007, -19/+26What a crock! He did people a great favor by taking that guy down. Total crap!
- haggie, on 10/12/2007, -22/+29One less mulleted moron roaming American streets. Good riddance.
- dacheetah, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6He DID pay the bail, but then skipped the country.
- KiTchMe, on 10/12/2007, -4/+10No, cops do that. As a matter of fact, bail bondsman insures those criminals are released in a matter of hours of being caught. So, he takes money from the criminals and then only goes after them when they don't show up at the court.
- haydesigner, on 10/12/2007, -4/+10@neeyo, you are a racist idiot.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -3/+8http://www.alohaupdate.com.nyud.net:8080/2007/02/16/dog-the-bounty-hunter-to-be-extradited-to-mexico/
- gldfshnpcklejar, on 10/12/2007, -22/+27Got to love "justice". When someone trying to do good and get a criminal off the streets is considered a criminal. What has this world come to. Loop holes here, criminals getting off because they have money there, pot-heads going to jail for years, etc etc. The fact that you can see the perversion of the courts but can't do anything about it is horrible.
- logosx1, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6Let's see if I've got this right: the U.S. government sends U.S. citizens to Mexico for breaking Mexico's laws, but will not send Mexican citizens to Mexico for breaking U.S. laws.
- Xcoded, on 10/12/2007, -2/+7Oh come on, Mexico just extradited a bunch of major-league drug contrabandists (including the leader of the Gulf Cartel, probably the most brutal of the bunch), with a good dozen or so other drug & murder related extraditions coming up anytime now — that will surely cause violence and cost the lives of certain people related to the extradition, yet you complain that Mexico would ask for a kidnapper (which, according to Mexican law Mr. Chapman is, as there are no bail bondsmen here). Give me a break.
- jmh770, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5He did get caught, but he paid his bond and left Mexico. This headline is misleading, the only thing that has happened is that a MEXICAN court has said it's ok for him to face extradition. The US has to actually agree to the extradition, and it's not likely that will happen.
A bunch of senators and such all wrote to the state department saying we shouldn't send him down to Mexico. There's more info on this via CBS
cbs4denver.com/local/local_story_047125814.html - maxlong, on 10/12/2007, -10/+15Mexico: Don't come down here and break our laws. But don't mistreat our illegals entering your country. What a Joke.
- cdcdark, on 10/12/2007, -3/+8Ah caps lock, cruise control for cool.
