...For this assignment I chose to do bounty hunters. There are a lot of people that are in this profession that like to be called fugitive recovery agents rather than bounty hunters. This is because when people hear bounty hunter, it tends to automatically make most think about negative things, or the first thing that comes to mind is something from the old days when people use to post dead or alive posters with an award on it. Some of the more accepted titles other than bounty hunter are bail bond recovery agent as mentioned before, bail officer, fugitive recovery officer, bail agent, bail enforcement agent, and fugitive recovery agent. Private investigators and bounty hunters have some of the same job duties in common which include, conducting interviews, performing surveillance, getting in contact with the subject, skip tracing which is when they track somebody to a current resident or location, and if a subject is located, some form of paperwork might be served. The private investigator could serve the individual legal papers and the bounty hunter could serve a warrant. The bounty hunter works with the bail bondsman in order to re-arrest the individual and place them in jail. This is usually because the bail bondsman’s client has not followed his or her bail contract. Usually the offense is when the individual fails to appear in court after promising to go. The first bounty hunter is Pat Garrett, and he is the one responsible for hunting down Billy the Kid. His motivation...

When people miss court or try to bond jump; the judge puts out a bond revocation and then they must capture the criminal or they lose their money they put up to get the person out of jail.

Dog has helped catch the most dangerous people, and even a high-profile rapist. “He credits most of his success from getting the most out of his informants.” He says “70% of all his captures happen because some ol’ American has turned them in by giving him information.

...Page 1 English 101 Sec 80655 4 April 2014 The Deer Hunter vs. We were Soldiers: The Evolution of War in Films In The Deer Hunter directed by Michael Cimino and We were Soldiers directed by Randall Wallace, both have plots that take place during the Vietnam War, involve the military, societal changes, and familial bonds. The message of each film essentially is sacrifice. The Deer Hunter and We were Soldiers use a group of three protagonists to convey its theme of sacrifice. When we take a closer look at them though we can see past the explosions and carnage that accompany most epic war films and see how war is depicted in a changing society. Society has dramatically changed since the post-Vietnam era of the 1970’s when The Deer Hunter was made, to the ultra patriotic times of an immediate post- 9/11 era when We were Soldiers was made . By demonstrating the differences between these films in the way that the military, society and family are depicted we see an evolvement of the way war is portrayed on film. First let’s take a look at the way the military is portrayed in The Deer Hunter. Having been made in a time of post-Vietnam The Deer Hunter depicts the military with the attitude of the times, in that the military was not looking out for our nation’s and soldier’s best interests. Cimino‘s depiction is of an army made up of men drafted into service. They are fulfilling their duty and making the sacrifices...

One day Antonapoulos gets sick, and even after he recovers he is a changed man. He begins stealing and urinating on buildings, and exhibiting other erratic behavior.

...Adaptation Essay 04/08/2010 Adaptation of “Payback” and “Point Blank” to the Hunter Richard Stark’s novel “The Hunter” is about a guy name Parker who is seeking revenge after being left for dead by his partner and his wife. The novel entails the path of revenge that Parker seeks amongst his wife and partner. This novel has been adapted into the films “Point Blank” and “Payback.” Film adaptation is the transfer of printed work to a film, the novel being used as the basis of a film. John Bormann uses the novel as a blueprint that can be followed closely or completely changed to be traditional to his own vision for the film (Dick 276-289). The films “Payback” and “Point Blank” are a version of the Hunter, but not the actual version, there are many ways that the film maker’s “preserved the essence” of the novel. In the film “Point Blank,” Walker seeks his revenge after being betrayed by his partner Mal Reese and his wife, in a heist and Walker being left to die with bullet wounds. Walker being the central character in the film portrays a cold, ruthless man that will stop at nothing until he recovers the money that was stolen from him (Applegate). Parker the main character in “The Hunter” is also a ruthless man and also sought revenge against the ones who betrayed him. One example of this is in the novel, when the one guy who had betrayed him had protection of the mob since he used the money to get on the good graces of the crime organization, Parker took on the entire...

...The Hunter Games When a man goes from feeling completely in control as a hunter to feeling the vulnerability of the hunted he may do things he never thought he would. Sangar Rainsford is a master big game hunter who lives for the hunt. Never before has Rainsford given any thought as to how his prey may feel, he only thinks and knows the ways of a hunter. Similarly General Zaroff lives for the hunt just as Rainsford, he is quite a skilled hunter perhaps even better. Many would easily say without a second thought the short story, "The Most Dangerous Game," written by Richard Connell, is either completely commercial or completely literary. However, considering the emphasis on philosophy, logic vs reason, danger, and fear one can see the classic is a combination of both. "The Most Dangerous Game" could most certainly be read solely for entertainment purposes due to its constant plot twists making this story a commercial fiction. All throughout this short story suspense plays a huge roll in making this commercial. Suspense can be seen the first morning of the game, "The generals' eyes had left the ground and were traveling inch by inch up the tree. Rainsford froze there, every muscle tensed for a spring" (23). The suspense in this moment is off the charts. Rainsford is laying in a tree praying he isn't spotted, and as the general slowly glances up the tree he stops right before he notices him and smiles. Readers love moments of extreme suspense, it has the readers on the edge...

...prohibited the setting of excessive bail, and the Judiciary Act of 1789, which served to identify bailable offenses, but it is also the foundation of what we now know as the U.S. judicial court system. The U.S. Supreme Court case, Taylor v. Taintor, in 1873, gave bounty hunters the authority to act as agents of bail bondsmen. This court ruling also allowed bounty hunters a number of overarching rights, such as the right to pursue fugitives in other states and, if necessary, break into a fugitive’s house, without a warrant, for the purpose of returning them on revoked bonds. It wasn’t until the passage of the Bail Reform Act of 1966 that laws relating to bail really began to take their current shape. The Bail Reform Act of 1966 included verbiage that permitted prisoners to be released on as little bail as possible to ensure a return for trail. The subsequent Bail Reform Act of 1984 allowed courts to refuse bail to individuals who were deemed too dangerous for release. A bounty hunter is a person who captures fugitives for a monetary reward which is a bounty (Miller, R & Cross, F 2012). The responsibility of the bounty hunter is to bring fugitives out of their hiding places and bring them to justice. Bounty hunters are usually employed...

...Held July 6, 2012 The John Edwards Mistress Scandal Rielle Hunter has made quite a name for herself in the political world. This article talks about John Edwards’ dealings with his mistress and the book, written by Hunter, telling what she calls the truth about her dealings with Edwards. This clear and accurate article is very informative in that it reiterates the fact that Hunter was hired by Edwards to video record his campaign behind the scenes. After working together over time, Edwards and Hunter initiated an affair between each other and had a little girl. After six months of Edwards denying Hunter and her baby, the truth was brought to the light. The article ignored the fact the Edwards’ wife had been ill with cancer during his time with the mistress but goes on to inform the public of the 1 million dollars paid to two people by Edwards to hide Hunter during the earliest part of his campaign. Hunter however, was acquitted of the charges placed against him a month ago. Hunter never testified in the case against Edwards even after she was guaranteed immunity from prosecution. Hunter had another perspective. She blames John’s old friend Andrew Young implying that Young was the one who initiated the idea of claiming paternity of the Edwards and Hunter’s little girl. Young was also the one who Hunter says solicited money to help cover her expenses. The fact that John Edwards was proven innocent made Hunters allegations mere assumptions. The Scandal itself has always been...

...Chapter 4, “Closing Case Two” (Hacker Hunters, Pages 165-166) 1. What types of technology could big retailers use to prevent identity thieves from purchasing merchandise? They can use cards with RFID and Pin numbers. 2. What can organizations do to protect themselves from hackers looking to steal account data? They can restrict access to only those who need it, they can enhance their security measures by making their passwords more difficult so not everyone can access their databases, and they can install better higher quality firewall and security systems. 3. Authorities frequently tap online service providers to track down hackers. Do you think it is ethical for authorities to tap an online service provider and read people’s email? Why or why not? It is ethical for authorities and very important that they access to criminal activity that is being done via email or over the internet. With this authority there must be a warrant issued by a judge. It is unethical to access just anyone’s personal information looking for a crime without prior suspicion. 4. Do you think it was ethical for authorities to use one of the high-ranking officials to trap other gang members? Why or why not? I think it depends on the crime that has been done. Using a high-ranking official to trap other gang members has basically been a tradition that happens every day across America in all police departments. This is how cases are made and solved by finding witnesses to take down a criminal...
