5:37 pm
the united states has the biggest number of criminals. but also bounty hunters. catching so called wanted. to the hunters. business. every year in the united states. a firm which specializes in. before their trials is. the. to be able people.
5:38 pm
freedom has a price the more severe the crime the bigger the in order to get out of jail before . for example ward's animals this fifty thousand dollars. twenty five thousand dollars. the contract stipulates that. this person. will and will. eighty 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 bondsman. go to court we have no problem but the minute he misses court and the courts no notice let me know that he is actually actually did go to court that's when my about one department takes over it all
5:39 pm
comes of being about a hundred to look at tony brown's bail bonds to 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 fugitive they are the well known u.s. marshals popularized by hollywood thanks to special from the justice department we were able to follow them in action marshals seek the most dangerous fugitives like two 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
5:40 pm
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. nine millimeter. all the american military. carries the same weapon i feel. and i don't like it i got a lot of guns. but if you make one serious mistake in this business. they are going out for real with their students.
5:41 pm
he has a felony nobel warrant that means if we pick him up he's not getting back out. he's a small dealer bailed out by tony. the man is far from suspecting that he's enjoying the last hours of his freedom we're getting ready to go after a. the morning or the evening before we go after them we've got to make sure that there are still active we can't pick up somebody if they took care of. the actual bond to be. here in. authorization. after a few hours of class bounty hunter trainees. are going to do some practical work supervised by his two assistants that's all i remember. i'm lucky.
5:42 pm
you know everybody in this room but. i think not only knowledge and experience. maybe other people don't know what to do they don't know how to go. kill all the trades. not as good at it as rob and his partner see them here because. they're probably a lot younger than i am a lot more patient than i am and i just want to go out and get the job done and all that but they they tend to be better at it than i. the stuff that i do. people. with.
5:43 pm
these individuals. drugs. drugs. i would. say one of the problems.
5:44 pm
here. even has a weapon against. without authorization row breaks in on the left side of the house. take care of the front door. and lou are. you one of the dealers mother is home to make a deal with her son's friends were running late always say this is the address he gave me that he lived. here if you got
5:45 pm
a foreigner breckenridge you will see i don't even know. how you got to have a cell phone i don't know where. you get it from. what does every word knowing what now you know he's wanted you told me can't you do anything in the rainbow type tighter that that's a felony or started people in for that now ok so if you happen to speak to him or no way to get ahold of him it would be any way of you to let us know barbara i didn't ask you where you were as big if you did you wouldn't tell me right now you know. barbara i didn't ask you because if you knew where he was you wouldn't tell me if i'm when. i knew i would tell you because i go whining i'm going to route i don't want to do with him anymore when's the last time you came through i don't even know last year his girlfriend or girlfriend.
5:46 pm
wants her name. i don't know it used to be. her her name now she got married. i don't know what her name is where does she live apart and you got to help me barbara i can't help you or he. told me with his girlfriend the bounty hunters of a serious leap. without losing time with the help of the internet the telephone number of the. she knows the fugitive. gone home there's nothing going on. here the thing we really don't disclose information when it gets this close because we don't know who
5:47 pm
you really are. you could be somebody that's just trying to trick us. very good and . well i think we've got. to go. she is ready to get. an even agree. because and make sure the dealers here. continues to ask for information. the fugitive is in another house in the neighborhood. is the lady responsible for the bond she she is the.
5:48 pm
girlfriend. the bounty hunters wonder if going to be able to pin down the fugitives location. and padilla starts having doubts suddenly the cousin comes out and gets in her car that's the signal for them to move. there. ok how many people are there. what are you wearing what you're wearing a white t. shirt blue shorts. closed on the fugitive. of the house surrounded weapons at the ready.
5:49 pm
to hunters break into the house without a warrant they have no concern for the children terrified by the assault but how is the target escape they can forget about the five thousand dollars. if the bounty hunters are in possession of they have less power than police officers as it does against the law to barge into people's homes. to reach their goals they use strength and surprise tactics. to the back alley to prevent any escape attempts. but then a radio message comes through. has neutralized the dealer with a taser. jumping over the fence. a fugitive who was shot with five thousand volts is unable to resist you know.
5:50 pm
why you're doing it for. school. watch here i can't really get out and look you know let's get out of there good job there we go let's put it that this could turn once already whether they're going to break. every. actually you got any weapons oh sure. no. well i'm sorry all right. stand up stand up. because you're right no no. no we don't know you.
5:51 pm
that's all right don't be sorry so our. car is still. looking for a. son but far off you've got him. you get to bright as a. french television baby oh shit i'm. giving them back i don't know larry i'm so in the back already jumped some fences ran around exactly what i should think change your number i would like a way to. understand. a . little bit more i think it's you know no you don't get out there i don't get is that when you're really i don't care how much what you want to tell me sir. because i stuck with three grandchildren. my my daughter started drinking heavily and just left the kids she begged him. to do he hit me with that taser right
5:52 pm
that's. a little bit high at most. pay he's got a bit of confidence. could would come me. you've done hundreds of fences and she did. more air if you shut him down cause this you know now the faster. faster you know given. time. first time this happens to you yeah. i mean. when i was younger i ran one time. so the second time. you. already knew i was going to jail hollowing of you mean the fugitive for seven months so how is your life for seven months. worse thing that happened but i'm
5:53 pm
going to do that i. know. that. this is the end of the room for the fugitive and another trophy for padilla in thirty five years the man hunting is delivered more than four thousand offenders to the justice department but not everybody in the state approves of the methods used by bounty hunters in los angeles. 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 on 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 and that way i think some bounty hunters are the 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
5:54 pm
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 back to do 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 hunters they fall into maine 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. fifty of them are ready to intervene in southern california on the slightest lead
5:55 pm
to apprehend a fugitive they are quick to top class soldiers live 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 i mean that's what the task force was formed for office to get. our focus of violent crime you know rape robbery murder. you know. kidnapping the more violent crimes because those are the people when you get off the street i mean there are violent actions against people in the community. these alleged 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 tony for instance is an ex marine. i've got john warner getting like four people together. here this public enemy has been
5:56 pm
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. has been a u.s. marshal for ten years because one of those in charge of the arrest from venezuela 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. which most of them have. not and nothing scares them. huge wrist since you never know their reaction during the arrest.
5:57 pm
so you have to be very careful. looking like california. 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. cars like my office i spend more time. off. to defend their territory to sell drugs. from the police. in a few hours andres will once again have to confront armed criminals. it is never.
5:58 pm
for example i never know what's going to happen today. there might be nothing going . on this. that's what i like about my job you never know what you're going to do next and never gets interested in. the u.s. marshals meet in a parking lot there are twelve of them and the man in charge is rolled morales one of the best specialists on anti gun 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 time to maneuver and get in this way and do it that way all right. and i want to. again we're not chasing simple people were chasing killers and you got to keep that in mind i mean this person shot somebody he's looking at the death penalty or life in prison so
5:59 pm
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 afraid is the word but definitely caution. it used to be an ideal place for a holiday. to change in a moment. the demands of you are still visible. to the public is not only relieved but also shaping the future.
