Female Bounty Hunters Under Fire For Breaking Into Woman’s Apartment Looking For Suspect

Story here. Again, remember feminist claims that female law enforcers were not just less likely but much less likely to color outside the lines? Excerpt:

'HAWTHORNE (CBSLA.com) — A group of Orange County female bounty hunters is under fire for breaking into a Hawthorne woman’s apartment looking for a suspect.

Shavonna Sutton, 25, said the Lipstick Bounty Hunters burst through her home last Friday to apprehend fugitive Ricky Lewis.
...
Chris Alvarez, the bounty hunter who led the search for Lewis, said they tried several times to get Sutton to open the door.

Alvarez said Sutton refused, so they had a right to break-in.

“All she had to do is say, ‘Look. He’s not here.’ We had reason to believe he’s in there, and that’s why we forced entry,” said Alvarez.

Meantime, the bounty hunters were recently served a lawsuit from a man who claims they used excessive force during his attempted arrest.'

From HowStuffWorks.com:

'The bail bond contract gives bounty hunters the right to enter the home of a fugitive, but only after establishing without a doubt that the person lives there. They cannot enter the homes of friends or family members to look for the fugitive.'
