7:47 am
clothes. of the house surrounded weapons at the ready. to hunters break into the house with. no concern for the children terrified. but how is the target they can forget about the fight. if the bounty hunters are. they have less power than police officers as it does against the law to barge and people's homes. to reach their goals they use strength and surprise tactics. to prevent any escape attempts.
7:48 am
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. unable to resist running over. you why you go to. school. every day that would look you know let's get out there just tell them the way god put it that this could be the most concerned already whether they're going to break. every. actually you got a weapon so sure. she. could.

7:50 am
a. little bit more when they come it's you know you know you'll get out there don't you believe that when you're really i didn't care how much what i looked at what the tories are. because i stuck with three grandchildren. my my daughter started drinking really heavily and just left the kids she'd better damn. well if they do hit me with that taser right that's what i'm. going to be. paying these guys were better than competent. could would come me. you've done it hundreds of fences and she did. more air if you shot and cause this you know now the faster. faster and i'll give. you time. this is the first time this happens to you yeah. i mean. when i was younger i ran from a car one time. because. i got one fancy laid back and. this
7:51 am
is the second time you are here because. my legs are. already knew i was going to jail how long have you been the fugitive for seven months so how is your life for seven months. 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 delivered more than four thousand offenders to the justice department but not everybody in the state approves of the methods used by both hunters in los angeles. laurie levenson a criminal law specialist is very familiar with bounty hunter legislation. bounty
7:52 am
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 and that way i think some bounty hunters are at least 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 bounty hunters don't 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 of one of the oldest u.s. law enforcement agencies the u.s. marshals. this is tony burke
7:53 am
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 to apprehend a fugitive they are equipped as top class soldiers with 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 office to get. our focus of violent crime you know rape robbery murder. you know child molesters. kidnapping the more violent crimes because those are those people when you get off the street i mean there are violent actions against people in the community. these
7:54 am
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 tony for instance is an ex marine. i've got john warner getting like four people together. here 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. has been a u.s. marshal for ten years is one of those in charge of the arrest from venezuela. thirty eight years old has two kids and a wife that is a flight attendant in his unit each marshal manages about thirty cases.
7:55 am
most of them. not and nothing scares the. futurist since you never know their reaction during the arrest. so you have to be very careful. looking like california. colleagues don't resemble a typical american policeman. in order to keep a low profile u.s. marshals where plainclothes and drive unmarked cars. cars like my office i spend more time. office.
7:56 am
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. for example i never knew what's going to happen today. 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. going to. the u.s. marshals meet in a parking lot there are twelve of them. the man in charge is rolled morales one of the best specialists on antique and warfare. his orders are clear and i
7:57 am
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. 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 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 if afraid is the word but definitely caution.
