welcome back here's a recap of the main stories we're covering today on r.t. suicide rates in japan are rising as people struggle with the aftermath of the earthquake disaster meanwhile it's thought radiation at the fukushima nuclear plant could be contained within months. president obama is calling on the public to pressure congress into a deal on avoiding default he blames republicans for stalling talks and refusing to compromise on debt. and the talk north korean diplomat is invited to new york to

revive long stalled talks on scrapping the country's nuclear program but it's just a few days since north and south korean envoys agreed you're assuring the discussions. now when there's a bounty on your head and there are those who wind up to get the reward and sometimes dangerously and increasingly illegal already follows the american bounty hunters who are turning fugitives to do financial gain that's something that. but but by the. times of voiding the weapon ok he would be on the stomach and then i got the weapon hey that's one now that was left handed i had to be prepared for either hand if it was his right hand and if it's right hand same thing ok if it's his right hand ok i push i grab turn don't don't think. this is a very special school and supplemental. is near it takes just

a few hours to train people into bounty hunters to get rid of what i'm wearing right now is exactly where where when i'm working the streets if you instructor is a native american called rex minutes or contracting horseman is the area of expertise is bounty hunting for people that are going to be taking their their twelve hour course that this weekend. started friday night walking until about four o'clock am sunday to get to twelve hours to get my classes actually closer to eighteen hours for small sum anybody can take part in this training assume these freshly trained hunters will be scattered throughout the city on the trail a fugitive the bounty hunter in southern california who i trained a pretty wise to see and on the streets. and we also have kara kara is student of mine who has taken this class in the past she's been out and out with us once before and to separate us and she will be continuing her street training because

one of the things that we do that's different from the other delegation riders that we don't just train them in the bounty hunting aspects. we also take them out streets and train them to get these really load on the real thing. ok here future trackers are learning how to overpower a fugitive just like the instructors or old bounty hunters but these professionals know every trick in the book to catch criminals on the run ok i'm i'm page number two he's got the taser on number three. comes up from this site where they figure of course you want to put money on the back of the neck. no. there was more i see didn't put me in the back of the neck guy's neck didn't realize it didn't give him a medical term for twelve hours they are serving four years in federal prison ok from here get key don't snap. transition ok transition give me your they handed me a hand he does it little bit thinner plank you had

a hand here the hand. and they were they were back at you well it's easy for girls to get jobs in this profession just because and it's of my ability not to have a female on the job here at rest of the people around you know for surgeons am already a. lot of what i believe that men would have that women don't him in the job i think it's mine i don't think any more dangerous or just something else i want to try i don't want to use up the news with but if i make a couple of dollars along the way with. russell crowe to. the back row dick is also a bounty hunter weapons are his specialty comply he knows everything about them from assault rifles to tasers shot the whole time they're trying to get away from because it hurts it's not incapacitation pepper spray is about ninety percent psychological. that's all it is. probably been sprayed half

a dozen times i could care less nobody really cares i could care less if you spray me. in order to become a bounty hunter no education is needed nor is any weapon experience required for improper use of any of these result. so you don't take it upon yourself to learn how to use it and you use it properly and you're going to get. the united states has the biggest number of criminals there are two million inmates and just as many on the run. by not only stayed in force agencies but also bounty hunters. catching so called wanted brings in billions of dollars every year to the hunters. in the us law is a business. every year in the united states more than thirty five thousand bailed out offenders never show up to court most of them are caught by seven thousand

bounty hunters working for bail bondsman. tony brown is a bail bondsman established in sacramento he runs the tony. a firm which specializes in bailing out offenders before their trials is. about the. actual bonds that we use to be able people. in the us freedom has a price the more severe the crime the bigger the bail is in order to get out of jail before trial for example cruelty towards animals is fifty thousand dollars use of firearms is twenty five thousand dollars attempted homicide is half a million dollars contract is a contract the contract stipulates you understand that it is about it it is for this person yes there will be and will it will be held accountable for the person that actually bailed out. a deal bondsman loans ninety percent of the money needed for the release the remaining ten percent is paid for by the criminal or his

relatives. a contract to cosign by the offender gives full power to the bones. only go to court we have no problem but the minute he misses court and the courts and beautiful vision no notice let me know that he is actually actually did go to court that's when about him a developer takes over it all comes a bit about an honest look at tony propping up on staff actually. we are going to follow the bounty hunters who tracked down petty criminals they are very popular but also controversial this week we are going to try and catch two drug dealers with rewards of thirty five thousand dollars and fifty thousand dollars on their heads. but they are not alone the united states government has its own law enforcement agency dealing with future just they are the well known u.s.

marshals popularized by hollywood thanks to special also i say shin from the justice department we were able to full of them in action marshall seek the most dangerous fugitives like to gang members wanted on murder charges and whose rewards are over a million dollars. sacramento capital of the state of california. a city of two million inhabitants stemming from the time of the gold rush. the man in the cowboy hat is leonard padilla. he is a bounty hunter. he calls himself the most famous bounty hunter in the world. so beretta. nine millimeter. all the american military. carries the same weapon i feel naked

i'm uncomfortable and i don't like it i got a lot of guns i got more guns at home but if you make one serious mistake in this business. we're back with our two instructors rob dick and rex fun it's or they're going out for real with their students but first we were up on client ishant richard webber. and. he has a felony nobel warrant that means if we pick him up he's not getting back out. the reward on the head of this fugitive is thirty five thousand dollars he's a small dealer bailed out by tony brown details and the man is far from suspecting that he's enjoying the last hours of his freedom we were getting ready to go after a day but they'll jump or the morning or the evening before we go after them we've got to make sure that there are four factors are still active we can't pick up

somebody if they took care of their bonds or if they were picked up on a warrant the actual bond still has to be an act of forfeiture here is the photo authorization i think after a few hours of class trainees kara and lori are going to do some practical work supervised and his two assistants girls that's all i remember. i'm lucky i don't know how i got to be with you know everybody in this room but i feel like i'm forty but everybody acknowledges this knowledge and experience they know. everything that maybe other people don't know what to do they don't know how to go. kill all the. like they are not as good at it as rob and his partner is a little here because. they're probably a lot younger and i am a lot more patient than i am and i just want to go out get the job done and all that they they tend to be better at it than i am. the stuff that i do i mean i'm not told

a lot of people if i get to the front door then once where the front door hit you guys with they got some purp training you got to go. so that's where we're. rajoy to go. dia and his crew are certified bunty hunters they are fully authorized to carry weapons. the over the top uniform has one main goal to intimidate the offenders. let me know him better on the phone he can scam call like nobody else up there. they will go out to residents have them run a call make sure there are places they can to just make.

a lot of these cases have drugs and what they are involved intimately is because it's the it's the nature of these individuals to steal and buy drugs and the more drugs they use the more drugs they need the more they got to steal the more they got to run so i would say seventy five percent of the crimes are drug related and. see one of the problems that are. first the home of the fugitive smother. a quick glance at his files shows that he might be hiding here. about hunters come in numbers and are well armed without a second thought they spread around the house. the. lawyer and the newcomer even has a weapon against dogs in his arsenal. without authorization breaks in on the left

side of the house. take care of the front door. and. the dealers mother was home to make her talk but for some. friends i don't know where you have run me always say this is the address he gave me that he lived at rocky the next year and he got a phone number i can reach you well yeah i know that even though. i don't have a cell phone i don't know where. to get it from but yes i heard oh you know that ok now you know he's wanted you told me you can't give you anything in there were able to tie you to that that's a felony to start to keep going for that now ok so if you happen to speak to him or the noble way to get ahold of him it would be any way of you to let us know barbara

i didn't ask you where he was because if you did you wouldn't tell me right now no . barbara i didn't ask you because if you knew where he was you wouldn't tell me if i'm going to go but i knew i would tell you because i go morning i'm going around i don't want to do with them anymore when's the last or anything rude i don't even know last year his girlfriend came over girlfriend or that's. certainly. what's trisha last night i don't know if to be. her her name now she got married. i don't know i'm wondering where does she live what part of town you got to help me barbara i can't help you or he lives. with his girlfriend the bounty hunters of the serious leaps. they follow it without losing time with the help of the internet they find the telephone number of the.

girlfriend's cousin she knows the fugitive. ok don't do anything till we get down there i'll call you back. what you got you don't do it go on home there's nothing going on. well here's the thing we really don't disclose information when it gets this close because we don't know who you really are. you could be somebody who's just trying to trick us. yeah very good and. well i think we got the address or at least we're real close to the end. to go friend's cousin is still on the phone with padilla she is ready to corporate after all she posed to deal for the fugitive and even agrees to lead them to his hideout we won't you know ok. girlfriend's house the cousin make sure the dealer is here. they've got no guns in the house. on the phone padilla

continues to ask for information comes up with the fugitive is in another house in the neighborhood. and we'll follow you don't go too fast. we're following. there you know is the lady that responsible for the bond she has she has the. girlfriend. so she says follow me. bounty hunters wonder if it's going to be able to pin down the fugitives location. time goes by and a deal is starts having doubts suddenly the cousin comes out and gets in her car that's the signal for them to move. is he there. ok how many people are there. ok what are you wearing what you're wearing a white t. shirt blue shorts let's go. to the back.

with the compass closed on the fugitive. man have the house surrounded weapons at the ready. how. about you hunters break into the house without a warrant they have no concern for the women and children terrified by the assault the black house is the target is still just they can forget about the five thousand dollar reward. if the bounty hunters are in possession of warrants they have less power than police officers as it is against the law to barge into people's homes. so in order to reach their goals they use strength and surprise tactics. runs to the back alley to prevent any escape attempts.

but then a radio message comes through. lorianne has neutralized the dealer with a taser. because emily was jumping over the fence you know killed two people here he killed chemo ok i mean zero zero zero fugitive was shot with five thousand volts is stung unable to resist that running away or. why you do it or stop firing school. what you're going to prove that i am not here let's get our . stuff over there shouldn't. be the most concerned and forgetting what the gathering called for help. actually. got any weapons oh so. good.

well i'm sorry i cut me. into. the garage no no the stuff just don't put over you. that's ok don't be sorry sorry. sorry it's. fire truck looking for a. song for. you got him. you get the price is a. friend come over to babyhood and i'm. giving a back i don't know larry i'm so in the back i had to jump some fences ran around exactly what a pleasure thinks things are going to look like a way to. understand. it

they're going to convince you no no no they're down it is that when really i don't care how much oh what was sorry. three grandchildren. my my daughter started drinking heavily and she's left the kids she'd better damn. well if they do hit me with that taser right. now i mean i was. content to. calcutta could wind coming. down hundreds of fans and shit. on their more earthy son cause this is not now the faster. faster. now you're tired this is the first time this happens to you you. i mean. when i was younger i ran one time as nancy did because. you get one face and blow back no nobody

says the second time you're on her because somebody here. already was you know it's how long have you been a fugitive or seven months so how is your life for seven months terrible the worst thing that happened but i'm going to do like. right now. that. this is the end of the room for the fugitive and another trophy for padilla in thirty five years the man hunting is the lived more than four thousand offenders to the justice department but not everybody in the state approves of the methods used by both your hunters in los angeles loyola marymount law school laurie levenson a criminal law specialist is very familiar with bounty hunter legislation. bounty

hunters are sort of a throwback and archaic part of our law and it goes back to a time when people would write out of their horses in the wild west and pick up these fugitives important into the sheriff for prosecution we don't exactly have that system anymore that way i think some bounty hunters are pretty dangerous because they don't get the same training and they don't have the same standards to become a police officer you have to go through a long process of selection and have to go through months of the academy and be trained and then you're accountable to the court if you violate someone's civil rights that you understand that they go through a very abbreviated if any kind of training and when they go out there they've got weapons and you have to hope that nothing bad happens. however the biggest game still eludes the bounty hunter. they fall in the main of one of the oldest u.s. law enforcement agencies the u.s. marshals. this is tony burke

a living nightmare for criminals of southern california. tony leads the special task force in charge of arresting the most dangerous fugitives and he loves his job . man hunting is the daily job of tony burke smaller shells fifty of them are ready to intervene in southern california on the slightest lead to apprehend a fugitive they are equipped as top class soldiers of assault rifles satellite phones and armored vehicles in case of a shootout. their targets are the real criminals the ones which have nothing to lose you know it and that's what the task force will form for authors to get. our focus was violent crime you know rape robbery murder. you know child molesters. kidnapping the more violent crimes because those are those are people when you get off the street i mean there are one violent violent actions against people in the

community. these are lead cops have nothing in common with bounty hunters to become a u.s. marshal you need to have graduated from law school or to have served in the military or you tony for instance is an ex marine. i've got john warner getting like four people together ok. this public enemy has been on the run for nineteen months. he killed one of his rivals in cold blood his head is worth two million dollars. tony's men have located him in a residential neighborhood north of los angeles and has been a u.s. marshal for ten years he is one of those in charge of the arrests from venezuela andrus is thirty eight years old has two kids and a wife that is a flight attendant in his unit each marshal manages about thirty cases some of the

kind of. really dangerous people. most of them have already killed by the looks of them. they're all close enough and nothing scares them and so. we take your shoes wrist since you never knew their reaction during the rest. of the fight over it and since the. beginning you. see so you have to be very careful listening. to my grandma looking like california surfers with tattoos andres and his colleagues don't resemble a typical american policeman. in order to keep a low profile u.s. marshals wear plain clothes and drive unmarked cars his cars like my office i spend more time in my car their. office. take a good look idea of simply turning. against each other. they always

try to defend their territory to sell drugs better and that's. simply they're at war and they are. not only to protect themselves from the police. to protect themselves from the other dancers. in a few hours andres will once again have to confront armed criminals. it is never seen here for example you never know what's going to happen today. there might be nothing going on. there goes on this yes. that's what i like about my job setting and you never know what you're going to do next and every case is interesting example in that it's something. akin to. the u.s. marshals meet in the parking lot there are twelve of them. the man in charge has rolled morales one of the best specialists on and he gang warfare.

his orders are clear and i curate every move away either on the east side of the building or the west side of the building and we have a couple time to maneuver and get in this way and get out we're all right. again we're not chasing simple people were chasing killers and you've got to keep that in mind i mean this person shot somebody he's looking at the death penalty or life in prison soul killing one more person or killing a cop doesn't mean anything to him you know it doesn't mean any difference for him so he'd be very willing to shoot us if we give him the chance so we've got to be careful and i don't know for fraid of the word but definitely caution.

home.
