Most bounty hunters are ex-cops from a local (to them) agency who like the thrill of the chase and being paid well. They don't have informants in other countries.  |
A long time friend of mine, has nearly all the family members (sisters, brothers, uncles, aunts, cousins, etc.) working in law enforcement (investigations, patrol, dispatch, bomb squad, etc.). One decided not to work with a public agency but instead as a private bounty hunter.
As a "private" US citizen he has trailed entered into Canada and Mexico, and successfully located the individual that has a substantial bounty. Only then he reaches out to the local police authorities, introduces himself as a US Bounty Hunter acting as a private citizen while being a visiting guest in their country, submits a copy of the US warrant seeking the individuals arrest, and any Interpol notices, and is present during the arrest.
Less hypothetical, and more along the line that "it happens".
