I'm sure you've all heard, but

I've been upset all week about Dwayne "Dog" Chapman and his son and brother being extradited to Mexico for the stupidest reason I have ever heard. I'm so mad I want to drive down to Mexico and protest.
A friend of mine (also a law student, if anyone cares) sent this, and I thought I'd share it:

I watch Dog: The Bounty Hunter all the time because it's just good TV. I don't know why, I don't know how, but the mix of the show is just too good to turn off.

He was arrested for a bounty in Mexico.

The guy who he arrested (3 years ago I might add) was a rapist, heir to the Max Factor throne, and is currently serving a 124 year sentence.

It's a crime to detain someone in Mexico, deprivation of liberty. . .kinda like false imprisonment here only Mr. Max Factor money was probably paying the government some hefty cash to hide him.

Dog was arrested for this crime 3 years ago, spent a couple of days in jail and then missed a follow-up hearing. . .god only knows why. . .I imagine he wasn't even told he had one, it seems ridiculous for a Bounty Hunter to not show up to his own hearing.

The original crime that Dog is being extradited for is a MISDEMEANOR. You can't extradite someone from state to state for a misdemeanor so this is totally bull*** for the most part.

The real crime was committed when Andrew Luster decided to brutally rape 3 victims. . .not when Dog went and found him hiding in Mexico. Mexico wouldn't turn him over, why should we turn Dog over for a much lesser crime?

Oddly enough, this is happening right before the midterm elections in a time when immigration reform is hot on the plate. This also follows the Mexican elections, brand new president. . .not to get into conspiracy theory but it's fun.

Here's the best story I've found about it so far.
