Boston Globe defends Bounty Hunting

Here's one I stumbled across this evening, it's about a week old, but still:

Don't know about you, but I wouldn't call it "tawdry" or "odorous", I personally clean up pretty well!

But seriously, I try to find positive and semi-positive commentary on the industry as much as I can. I find it challenging retraining folks' thoughts away from the media fun of "Dog" and TV shows, and more on the reality of it all. We've talked about this ad-nauseum in other posts, I know. Unfortunately, I didn't think this article was all that positive. It explained some facts, but then kept mentioning reasons to dislike the industry, agreeing to the term "tawdry"...

A Supreme Court justice says it's "odorous"? Really? He's upholding the law of the land, which clearly affords someone these rights (even though 4 states are pretrial services, they still get out) and then he calls it odorous? When the police in IL, WI, KY and OR have to find these pretrial skips while doing their normal job AND mixing in FTA and other warrants are they called odorous? Is it just me taking it personally? (I tend to do that)

Oh, and don't click on the link more than 3 times or it'll make you clear your cookies...I mean, register.

1908-1999
U.S. Supreme Court Justice Harry A. Blackmun ’32 died March 4 at age 90. Appointed to the Court in 1970 by President Nixon, he retired in 1994 after a 24-year career on the Court marked by a movement from moderate conservatism to outspoken liberalism. A 1932 graduate of HLS, Justice Blackmun returned to the School on many occasions, for the Centennial Celebration, to receive the HLSA Award, to deliver the Class Day speech, and to speak to students at HLS’s Saturday School.


I am betting by the time this article was written this was a mighty "odorous" Robe

Back in his time that was most likely a term used to mean a "seedy character"

Still get the impression this article was not as favorable as it led on to be. Probably just me though. It's late, & I'm cranky.

I guess I better not comment on that other than to say.... dog gone it... my cookies get cleared almost every day....
