Group of seven bounty hunters surround car in Walmart parking lot, get into car chase and fire into car killing an innocent man in apparent case of mistaken identity.
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - Seven bounty hunters who descended on the wrong car outside a Wal-Mart have been indicted on first-degree murder charges in the killing of an unarmed man and the wounding of another, Tennessee police announced Wednesday. The charges come after a chaotic scene in Clarksville on April 23, where police said the bounty hunters shot at the four people in the sedan and chased them for seven miles. Not one of the men in the sedan was wanted on outstanding charges. Link to story The seven bounty hunters charged.  Attached File |

Wonder what the difference would be if they were actually LEO as far as charges.
Would fireing into the car even be legal if there was a guy fleeing in the ride? |

If they had been police and had a warrant, you'd just be getting "I'm sorry".

If the person is believed to be a violent criminal who is possibly going to do more harm, then the police can shoot them in the back or wherever. At least that is what I read here when the police shot an escaped convict in NY a few years back.

At least that is what I read here when the police shot an escaped convict in NY a few years back. And the rules are slightly different for convicts. They can be shot during escape just for escaping but the standard is higher once their escape is complete. |

... authorities have said they are troubled by how the bounty hunters put people at risk. I had an encounter with a bounty hunter who was chasing a guy who had stolen from me, been convicted, and failed to make restitution, part of his plea arrangement. Loudoun County issued a felony warrant as a result. So a few months go by and the bounty hunter calls to tell me he'd been caught in Maryland, a habitual offender DUI (automatic jail time) with possession of dope. He'd pled out to the charges, got three years, but was eligible for parole in a few months. He even gave me the number for the prison where he was locked up. I called, told them about the felony here in Virginia and the warrant for his arrest. I then had the Sheriff's office send an extradition request. Instantly ineligible for early release. Now looking at the full three years in Maryland and two more here prompted him to find a way to get me my money. That got the violation in Virginia lifted, which got him released on probation in Maryland. A year later, felony DUI, habitual offender in Virginia. He got three more years. So sometimes bounty hunters are a help. But those seven assholes in Clarksville deserve the rope. |

Now you have. 
ETA- There are a lot of turds in the industry- Prior to WA introducing licensing, there was very little "regulation". In my locale, there's a couple of bond companies that I knew that used guys they've bailed out to recover other skips. There was one guy, "Bear Fogger Dude", he was a felon and his buddy was the principal agent for a BB company. That's just dirty pool.

If the jackwagons in this story came to my office looking for work, I'd run 'em off. Wouldn't hire any one of them. Have said the same thing about the dog & crew for years, as well. Don't need or want the extra attention and liability these types bring to the table. Guess that's why in 20 years of writing bail I've done all my own recovery work when needed...except for one case that I hired a team for assistance with. |

Speed-Cuffing was the next less-than practice exercise. Cop friend of mine was telling me about the time he was tasked to assist training at one of the academies here in Washington state while he was in recovery from a vehicle accident, and how surreal it was to have to call for assistance during the intake for an incoming class of students, and arrest like three of them for outstanding warrants. Story he got was they'd all joined a smaller PD, and it was supposedly part of an attempt to infiltrate law enforcement... Weird days, my friends, weird days... |

If you have seven armed dudes slinging lead at you then you are better served by doing something clever than just mag dumping. They can outpace your firepower. Capitalizing on wrinkles in your environment can do wonders in a running fight. But yeah I agree. Could pass the gun to the passenger too |

I once was followed by a "Process server" everywhere, trying to serve me a subpoena. It was kind of like that, minus the guns, chase and shooting.
It was a BS, frivolous lawsuit from a vindictive ex and she manipulated her boyfriend to do this on her behalf. Everywhere I went he was waiting. He finally succeed in serving the subpoena after 8 months of trying. I went to court and it got thrown out. Once followed me for 10 miles on a highway. |
