Yeah but "Dog the Bounty Hunter" only uses mace... He's my idol.
As I stated in my other reply. Read the context of the quoted statement.
Also, how do you think they make arrests? They are not law enforcement officers. It IS citizen's arrest, which again, is in context to the quoted statement.
LE can't arrest someone without a reason. Walking while black is not a crime. GZ had no right to touch TM, to try to detain TM, TM did not have to answer his questions and certainly did not have to stop for GZ. TM had the same freedoms as GZ. GZ had no right, no authority to take that away from him. jmo

The thread is about GZ who has no legal authority to just walk up to someone and arrest them for no reason. There is no law that states that you can do that. jmo
There's an old Andy Griffith episode where Gomer Pyle stops someone and yells, "Citizen's Arr-est, citizen's arr-est." I have a picture in my mind of George Zimmerman doing that and being as ridiculous as Gomer Pyle was.
George Zimmerman had no right to stop TM for any imagined reason, for not liking his looks, for not liking his color, for not liking his clothing or any reason whatsoever since TM was walking on a sidewalk doing nothing illegal. It was Zimmerman who was acting illegally and I hope he is prosecuted for violating TM's civil rights, the most basic of which is the right to life, to which he was entitled just as much as George Zimmerman.
Because Duane (Dog) has a felony conviction from his younger days and is not allowed to possess a firearm under Federal Law. I have a very good friend who is a former Police Officer and is now a Bounty Hunter (owns his own business), and I assure you, he always carries 2 firearms on him at all times, especially when Bounty Hunting.
Is he licensed by the state for the work he does? Or does he just go around catching any bad guy he wants to? (Your "friend" that is) I only ask because the assumption being made previously was that this is a "citizen's arrest" when i know for a fact bounty hunters have to be trained, licensed and sometimes deputized. TIA
Not all states require a bounty hunter to be licensed, just as not all states allow citizen's arrest (thus, no bounty hunters per se - off duty police officers mostly).

I still find it hard to believe that following someone, no matter the speed, is what people are claiming to be what killed Mr. Martin. You would think there would be a law against following someone the way some people try to spin it to be an illegal act.
Arrest
When someone has the reasonable suspicion that a felony has been committed, a citizen's arrest might be made. The arrest is no different than any other police arrest. All relevant laws apply. Excessive force cannot be used, for example. But the general concept is that any citizen has the right to stop another who has committed a felony.
How can you follow someone you can't see, someone who ran out of sight?
Did GZ walk to the next street? (Seems there was time to do that.) If he did, he wasn't persuing TM, he was looking for TM--looking to see if he left the area. TM didn't go that way, unless he ran around that building and doubled back to the area between the buildings--where they were observed fighting.
Florida
In Florida you must obtain your "limited surety agent" license from the Florida Department of Financial Services, Bureau of Agent and Agency Licensing, in order to legally apprehend bail fugitives.
Bounty hunter - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I hate to quote Wikipedia but "WHEW" glad bounty hunters here need at least SOME licensing!

Guess GZ superceded his rights in a citizen's arrest as well...
By all accounts Mr. Zimmerman lost sight of Trayvon. I'm not sure what your alluding to here. In context, what I stated was in reply to someone saying "Mr. Martin was killed because Mr. Zimmerman followed him" - or something along those lines. With context in mind, aren't you agreeing with what I said, even though it's done argumentatively?
A media article, that's interesting seeing how the media is bashed all the time.
And if we're talking statistics, that media article that keeps being used as proof states that there were, 8 burglaries in 14 months, and "several" of them were committed by black kids? How many does that make in 14 months, 2? 3?
Several, not most, not majority and most certainly not rampant crime committed by black kids. So according to that article it certainly doesn't make the profiling charge bogus at all.
At least eight burglaries were reported within Twin Lakes in the 14 months prior to the Trayvon Martin shooting, according to the Sanford Police Department. Yet in a series of interviews, Twin Lakes residents said dozens of reports of attempted break-ins and would-be burglars casing homes had created an atmosphere of growing fear in the neighborhood.
One morning in July 2011, a black teenager walked up to Zimmerman's front porch and stole a bicycle, neighbors told Reuters. A police report was taken, though the bicycle was not recovered.
Yeah, there are several suspect items in that article being fed to us![]()
Emphasis mine. Well, we know someone who made several reports...but I don't find him particularly credible.
Again, hmm...someone witnessed this, did they? I admit I haven't been able to keep all the witnesses of everything straight in this case, so perhaps someone might enlighten me, but this sounds hinky to me.
etc.
