Duane Chapman's full name, including his bounty hunter nickname, is Duane Lee "Dog" Chapman I.
 Bounty hunters are typically independent contractors paid a commission of the total bail amount that is owed by the fugitive; they provide their own PLI and only get paid if they are able to find the "skip" and bring them in
 As a result, bounty hunters hired by a bail bondsman enjoy significant legal privileges, such as forcibly entering a defendant's home without probable cause or a search warrant; however, since they are not police officers, bounty hunters are legally exposed to liabilities that normally exempt agents of the stateas these immunities enable police to perform their designated functions effectively without fearand everyday citizens approached by a bounty hunter are neither required to answer their questions nor allowed to be detained
