The guys that kicked in the door, are lucky that the guy who lived there did not have a weapon. These guys brandished firearms and held the people hostage.
I think if it was Bounty Hunters that they should be held accountable. They do not have the right to kick in just anyones door, especially if a fugitive does not live there.
Did you read the story? The guy OPENED the door to them, they didn't "kick it in". I'm not 110% on the law, but my understanding is that a fugitive recovery agent can come into your residence w/o a warrant IF they have complete knowledge that the person is there.
