Well, being a vigilante is against the law, so yeah.I don't get this law... at all.
"Oh you want to help clean up the streets and stop crime but don't have the grades to be a policeman? Well -blam!- YOU."
Well...yeah. Police officers carry a significant amount of responsibility that requires training and organization; vigilantism defies that and assumes that a single untrained person can do more good than a person that is armed, has backup, a bullet-resistant and chase-oriented vehicle, and a centralized hub of information for tracking and profiling criminals. What surprises me is that being a bounty hunter in the US is legal. Here (the UK) you'll go to gaol is you make a citizens arrest (holding someone there against their will = kidnap) and they aren't really trained to do it as well as officers, either.
