My understanding is that bounty hunters are generally sent after people who fail to appear for their court dates or prison sentences? This would be more akin to "Walmart got a shoplifter on video and the local sheriff sent a bounty hunter after them."
The use of mass surveillance Palantir dragnet data in this case is also unique, and a precursor/practice for using it in domestic counterinsurgency and war on the broader populace.
There are innocent people and others for whom being hunted is a disproportionate response, and that shouldn't be acceptable either. You just may not see it because you think it will never affect you, only people who can be handwaved as beneath you.
Is there such a thing as "normal bounty hunter hunting petty criminals"? I have doubts about "normal bounty hunter" even without "petty criminal" part added to it.
They also have a tv show dedicated to selling off storage units that are unpaid, but my friend whose family owns a large chain of storage units has told me that it’s basically fake. (He said usually the unpaid units are filled with something worthless and on the off chance they’re not, it’s donated to charity)
