Cold yes, but that's the mentality of people working in the bounty/bail world - and strictly in business terms it's correct.
I don't know exactly where this "hearing" took place and I don't recognize the guy claiming to be a bounty hunter - even after he removed his mask. But no one should be surprised if in fact what he's saying is true. ICE, Homeland Security, and the Trump regime in general have made it clear they intend to use every means - legal or otherwise - to bully & coerce state & local government to comply with their extreme tactics.
Their goal is to buy enforcers working on the edge of the system ( like bounty hunters), and turn ordinary citizens into paid informers and snitches by offering "rewards" for phony intel & bogus accusations. It's not about rounding up real criminals & dangerous foriegners, the aim is to create fear & confusion in order to silence opposition.
HOWEVER, "bounty guy" is mis-stating some key facts about what they can do & what legal authority they have to answer to : They are regulated & licensed by state governement, they can only pursue known felons and fugitives, must inform local law enforcement when they are operating within a jursidiction, are required to provide a name & location for any individual they're trying to aprehend, cannot impersonate police or emergency responders, and can be sued for unlawful detention and excessive use of force.
The important thing for everyone in every community to realize is - no matter how much smoke and mirrors are used to cover it up, this government is out of control. And no one can or should be forced to go along.
