Just wondering about the laws for this were. I know that they are forbidden in Canada but in the states they can run rampant and do as they please.
For instance,
If one were to get bail then I can see them signing some type of waiver allowing the bounty hunters to do whatever they like, but what would happen in a situation where say, I was offered Bail and agreed to their terms, I skipped bail, and was hiding out at my friends house.
If they had a tip that I was staying there, but no agreement with said friend to search their house or no warrant, could they still break in and search based on a tip?
If so, then would this law outweigh the law that allows citizens to protect their homes against intruders with justified force, i.e. Bounty Hunter demands access to my house on information that I am hiding a wanted fugitive. If he were to walk in and I were to shoot him, or beat him how would that situation play out? He is trespassing right?
Just a little confused.
