Okay, first off, before I get to reviewing, I've done my research. Duane "Dog" Chapman was arrested and convicted for being an accessory to murder-1, that is, he was present and didn't stop another member of the gang he was then a member of, the Devil's Disciples, from murdering that person. He was in for 5 years, and got out on probation after helping stop a prison break. To the poster whom said that he's not a legal bounty hunter, all you did was post the laws in your particular state, I'm guessing, on what qualifications you need to be a bounty hunter. To the person who said that bounty hunters are supposed to kill... no. Too much Star Wars for you. Boba Fett's line of work was more along the lines of "Assassin". In the real world, a bounty hunter is hired by a bail bondsman to go collect criminals who fail to appear in court. In some cases, they're considered to be law enforcement officials, which means that they get full co-operation from local law enforcement. As for another poster who asked about him going after Osama, he's been quoted as saying he would go for him if the US Government would put him on the case.
Now, as for the illegal capture, he went to Mexico to capture a rapist, and since bounty hunting is illegal in Mexico, he broke a law, but wouldn't catching a rapist be worth it? I think so.
Anyway, this show follows the work of Dog and his family. Wife by common law marriage, Beth, sons Leland and Duane Lee (as of season 2), and "brother" Tim (there's no actual relation), and the Dog himself go out and apprehend fugitives. He's very successful, probably due to the camera not showing when he's missed his marks. I think that many episodes show a great insight into the flaws of the criminal justice system, because they do exist. It's really a good show, if you like the sort of real-life action that comes from bounty hunting and catching fugitives.
