i think this wins the 2nd place award for ironic thread of the year, second only to steve irwin's:

(CNN) -- Duane "Dog" Chapman, the self-proclaimed world's most-famous bounty hunter who achieved notoriety nabbing thousands of bail jumpers was arrested Thursday for allegedly jumping bail in Mexico.
U.S. marshals arrested the star of the A&E reality show "Dog the Bounty Hunter" at his home in Hawaii at the request of the Mexican government.
Chapman was wanted in connection with his highly publicized 2003 capture of Max Factor cosmetics heir Andrew Luster, who fled to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, after skipping out on a $1 million bail. (Watch how the bounty hunter landed in the doghouse -- 2:05)
Luster was later convicted in-absentia on 86 charges involving drugging three women with the date-rape drug, GHB, and raping them. Luster is serving a 124-year sentence. (Full story)
Chapman's son, Leland, also was arrested Thursday, as was colleague Tim Chapman, who is unrelated but considered a "blood brother" by Dog, according to the reality show's Web site.
Marshals knocked on the door of Chapman's home just after 6 a.m., and they entered the home after the unlatched door came open, said Deputy U.S. Marshal Jay Bieber.
Chapman was cooperative, Bieber said. He was handcuffed and placed in the back of a government vehicle.
Chapman's wife, Beth, told MSNBC her husband was being held in a federal detention center in Honolulu.
The arrest warrant is under seal, and charges are expected to be announced Friday when Chapman is scheduled to appear before a magistrate's court in Honolulu.
Larry Butrick, chief of the criminal division of the U.S. attorney's office in Hawaii, said Chapman was arrested by Mexican authorities in June 2003 on charges of illegal detention and conspiracy.
The magistrate will determine whether Chapman can be extradited to Mexico, and the final decision will be made by the U.S. secretary of state, according to the U.S. attorney's office in Hawaii.
Mexican police said that the three men subdued Luster outside a nightclub, put him in an SUV and drove off June 18, 2003. Police stopped the vehicles soon afterward and took the men into custody.
Chapman and his crew were not authorized to track Luster and take him into custody in Mexico, Mexican officials said at the time, adding that bounty hunting is illegal in Mexico.
Judge Jose de Jesus Pineda ordered the three men to stand trial on charges of unlawful detention and deprivation of freedom, charges which carry sentences of up to four years in prison.
Pineda granted the men bail -- $1,500 each -- but the three were supposed to check in regularly with police and get Pineda's permission before traveling outside the Mexican state of Jalisco, a prosecutor said.
The men did not, supervising prosecutor Marco Roberto Suarez said in July 2003, threatening to have the men arrested and returned to Mexico if they missed their scheduled appearance before Pineda.
The following month, Superior Court Judge Edward Brodie in Ventura County, California, ruled that Chapman was not entitled to any of the $1 million in bail money forfeited by Luster when he fled to Mexico. (Full story)
"I cannot do vigilante justice," Brodie said. "In my view, you violated state statutes and Mexican statutes. Therefore you are not entitled to any restitution."
Chapman later said he was proud that he had captured Luster, but regretted doing it "in the wrong way."
"Dog the Bounty Hunter," in which Chapman and his family chase down bail jumpers and other fugitives, is one of A&E's most popular series. It is in its third season.

The Mexican government is one of the worlds most corrupt governments, are you surprised?
PVS
that they are corrupt? no.
that they would be so openly deliberate in exhibiting their corruption? yes.

They're hoping for a payoff, the true criminal that Champman busted had a million dollar bail, they know that and want a piece of the pie, not to mention some notoriety since Chapman is a semi-celebrity now. They already pocketed $4,500.00, greedy bastards want more...

Just the mullet and hair color.. Other than that, Brock is quite and reserved until he feels threatened, then all hell breaks loose. Dog is more of a showoff.

Sorry for not understanding, *****. I saw it on FOX, and I can't Mexico's thought on this. He was still doing what was right! Stay strong, Dog!

American Citizens will arm themselves and invade Mexico upon Dog being put in Jail

I wonder if hes actually gonna get locked up. Dog seems cool, I hate his fat wife though.
Fishy
He deserves it... If it's illegal there he shouldn't have been there simple as that.
You can't go into another country and arrest somebody just because they did something illegal in your country... He broke the law he deserves to get a punishment for it, simple as that.
tabby999
so did the other guy. Dog was trying to get someone who drugged women and raped their unconcious bodies back into the country so he could get whats coming to him, now he's in trouble. its a crap system
PVS
fishy has a point. international law, however backwards, was broken.
i disagree that he deserves what he's getting, but he certainly must have known the law, and the risk he was taking. its still bullshit, but technically there is no foul im afraid.
but then again tabby has a point. its a crap system, and as the joke that it is, they should be ashamed of it and not make their lack of willingness to capture and punish criminals so publicised.
my opinion, ultimately is- screw mexico, and screw their petty and ineffectual law. i hope our government can finally use its power of illegally bullying other nations into submission for a virtuous purpose and free dog
tabby999
damn straight, preach it brother!

Duane Chapman made the statement, saying he had an officer with him to survey the scene. His crew was there only to check a finger pointing in the direction of the criminal. When they got there and found out it was him, Dog made a deal with the officer to take him in under the charges against him. He got his man because he worked with an officer to take down the perp. Now, 3 years late, the Mexican government dicides its in their best interest to have Dog arrested. I think there was something in the background working for this to happen. Wonder how much more money was offered.

I wouldn't mind if this was the way the world worked, where anybody could just move into another country and arrest criminals, but there is a reason why cops from one country are not allowed to work in other country's... Bounty Hunters are illegal, he shouldn't have done it. The US should negotiate prisononer exchange with Mexico if they want, but they shouldn't allow people to just go into another country and arrest them, no matter what the crime is.
Sorry but we have borders for a reason. Besides how would you feel if a Mexican cop suddenly came into the US and arrested somebody who lived in the US?

the black and white of it is, there are people who think if they can keep from getting caught, they can do anything they want and then go to another country to hide from the law. there should be a system put in place in order to apprehend these creeps when they do so. unfortunately, Dog thought he had things covered when he didnt. he was arrested for an error, but he still caught the slime that was sitting about, living it up. he is on house arrest, and he is still bounty hunting in hawaii. trail is scheduled to see if he should serve time in mevican jail for the crime of "kidnapping" (thats what bounty hunting is in mexico). the best outlook for this would him serve in states jail. here he could serve from 6 months to 4 years. in mexico, well you know how bad it is there, so we wont get into that. we can only hope for the best.

What a sucky way for a Bounty Hunter to go out. They should take him out to the desert and let a Blind Folded Harrison Ford knock him into the Sarlacc.
Because with hair like that he deserves no better.

If you do something wrong in one country you shouldn't be arrested by another country oficial, unless of course the country's agree that they can arrest that particulair person.
What's illegal in one country isn't always illegal in the other, and sometimes country's just don't exchange prisoners or people living there for good reasons. I don't care if the guy deserved it or not, Dog broke the law simple as that.
Nice that the other guy was arrested and everything but he broke the law and he should be punished for it. Simple as that.
((The_Anomaly))
I agree with Fishy, he broke the law and should be prosecuted accordingly. He might have had good intentions (which he did) but he went about it the wrong way, does the end justify the means? Thats the actual question. He had to have known the risks of doing what he did, and he decided to take that risk and do it anyways. He gambled and he lost, thats the way it goes. Is it stupid? Yes, but its the law unfortunately.

Exactly, but Mexico has some ****ed up laws, ey.
You should be aware of the judicial system of whatever country you're visiting.
