- adventured 5y agoBounty hunters are uncommon in the US and very little of the law enforcement system is privatized in the US. It's in fact rare compared to the number of government law enforcement officers we have (local cops, county cops, state cops, federal cops, prison & jail cops, specialized, etc). Having eg a private security guy working at your grocery store is not privatized law enforcement. That's the equivalent of a bar bouncer watching the property, not the equivalent of law enforcement and they don't have the legal powers of law enforcement either.
- msh 5y agoYou are probably right when I say a lot, it was thought of as relatively to most of the EU. But the fact that bounty hunters and "repo" like in the article exists makes it a lot to me.
