That’s Funny…

When the roles are reversed the cops could shoot or handcuff the homeowner and not be arrested.  Must be because these bounty hunters don’t have magical badges that bestow special priveleges and rights.

 

Bounty hunters mistakenly target sheriff’s home

A group of bounty hunters searching for a wanted fugitive only realized they picked the wrong house when the angry local police chief emerged, shirtless.

NorthStar Fugitive Recovery owner Brent Farley, 43, is charged with criminal trespassing and disorderly conduct after his group and another contingent of bounty hunters mistakenly targeted the home of Phoenix police chief Joseph Yahner, The Arizona Republic reported.

NorthStar and Delta One Tactical Recovery allegedly besieged the house with 11 bounty hunters after receiving a tip on social media pointing them toward a fugitive. After watching the house for two hours, the teams flipped on their headlights, shined flashlights inside the house and began banging on the door, police said. One of the men had his weapon unholstered, according to cops.

A video of the encounter viewed by the Arizona Republic allegedly shows someone yelling, “Roderick, open the door” before getting into a verbal argument with Yahner. After Yahner emerged, a “heated confrontation” ensued, according to Sgt. Trent Crump.“After awakening [Yahner] from a dead sleep, he comes out in protection mode,” Crump said. “And when he does come out and he challenges them, I think they quickly come to realize [the mistake], with the exception of one of them.”Farley would not leave the property and continued to give orders to Yahner, Crump said.

Wonder why the chief didn’t immediately waste time calling the cops?

Farley should have worn some magical blue clothes. They work like a force field to deflect all legal liabilities.

Did they at least shoot the Sheriff’s dog or stomp his cat to death and smash most of his belongings?

Someone played bad joke on that bounty hunter. That ‘ informant’ was setting that bounty hunter up to get shot.

It would have been perfect if they shot his dog (not that I advocate shooting dogs).

It’ll be interesting to see how hard the local criminal justice mafia comes down of these skip tracers. Ya gotta love it when the system eats it’s own.
