Not that accurate. If you area fugitive or have jumped a bail bond, your
right to privacy is no longer valid and the bounty hunter has every right
to seek your apprehension. But if a bounty hunter entered my house without
anything more than probable cause, he's going to jail as a home
invader. That simple.
