My understanding is that bounty hunters are generally sent after people who fail to appear for their court dates or prison sentences? This would be more akin to "Walmart got a shoplifter on video and the local sheriff sent a bounty hunter after them."
The use of mass surveillance Palantir dragnet data in this case is also unique, and a precursor/practice for using it in domestic counterinsurgency and war on the broader populace.
There are innocent people and others for whom being hunted is a disproportionate response, and that shouldn't be acceptable either. You just may not see it because you think it will never affect you, only people who can be handwaved as beneath you.

What do you think the current crop want? In any new revolution, the rich consolidate power. Same as has happened in pretty much every non-communist popular revolution over the last two centuries.

Normal bounty hunters. I’m asking why this feels different. (Civil v criminal doesn’t seem to be meaningful. Maybe it’s the bond?)
Everything old is new again. Never again is now.
(Yes I know a lot of people can't leave. Maybe the US needs to do a Nepal and overthrow this corrupt government)

What is needed is a communist popular revolution, it's the only hope left for the country.
Or crowdfunded hire a bounty hunter to hunt the bounty hunter network /s
Our society is so damn dystopian now sheesh
