Over at KXLY they’re reporting that more training is needed for Bounty Hunters.   In Washington state, a bill has been passed where more training is necessary for the very dangerous job of being a bounty hunter.

But the problem is that many of the agents simply lack training. Right now, recovery agents can get a license after four hours of training. The new law would require a minimum of 32 hours.

Agents would also have to report directly to the Department of Licensing every time they enter a home by force.  Washington state Bail Bonds manager Thomas Dixon supports the new law, saying he’s seen agents in the past disregard the rules to look for defendants.  Thomas Dixon says more training, which includes civil and criminal law review, custody and transportation issues, firearm training, and exercising real-life scenarios, is needed.

I’m glad that they’re putting this in place - not only will it help those who decide to become bail bondsmen and women - and where they’ll have the training to stay safe and play it smart.  It will also help keep things on the up and up for the criminals who are arrested by the bail bondsmen and woman.  I think all round - a very good idea.

On April 11th and 12th, Duane Dog Chapman will be visiting the Mooseheart City Hall where hewill be the featured speaker, with Beth, his wife, at his side, in a “tell-all” night speaking about his triumphs, challenges and faith.

Mooseheart… who would have thunk it

Over the past couple of days I’ve really noticed “Barack Obama” and “Dog the Bounty Hunter” being used in the same sentence.  I’m thinking I’ve missed something.  This is another article I’ve found with both people written into the article.  I guess from what I’ve read (I’ll admit…skimmed) it’s about being Black in America and how people relate to it… or don’t relate to it.

I’m just finding it interesting that Dog the Bounty Hunter has found his way into all this controversy and conversation because of his foul up over the conversation with his son.

Ok, with everything that’s been going on with Dog the Bounty Hunter and his family - this story made me laugh out loud.  Wendy writes about the 3 new fish added to her fish tank and their names…

You guessed it… fish #3 has been dubbed “Dog the Bounty Hunter” because,

“Oh Lord… He swears one of the calico fish’s fin & tail look like a mullet, making the fish look like Dog the Bounty Hunter. Umm… okay dear… whatever you say…”

Seriously… we all need a bit of a laugh - and this was a moment for me.
