Anybody who picks up a criminal who is skipping out on bail and thus taxing the system, probably participating in further cirmes and does it with the full support of the law (which Dog has) is just fine by me.
He picked up Andrew Luster because 1) there was a bounty and reward on him. Dog is a bounty hunter. It is how he makes his living and a big reward is a big pay day, and 2) Andrew Luster needed to be taken off the streets. A guy convicted of 86 rapes doesn't just lose the urge to rape again just because he is on the run. That's what he did...drug women, rape them and videotape himself doing it. When he was aprehended he had GHB in his hotel room. But I'm sure he wasn't going to use that for anything but his own personal use.

It's frankly international vigilantism and spotlight seeking to goto another country, completely outside the jurisdiction of even any rightful authorities...bringing your own TV crew into another country to bounty hunt for a fugitive that he didn't have a personal stake in just for the money (and the media coverage). Sure the American people love him and morally, he did a good thing...but man, that's just reckless, absurd, and insulting the rightful authorities. Life isn't a TV show. The good guys just don't hunt down the bad guys all over the world as they like because the storyline is good.

Ironically, everytime I see Dog and his family, I get the awful feeling they really really want to be real cops instead of playing dress-up. It's like those security guards who impersonate police officers. Dwight Shrute's ultimate fantasy.
