A real bounty hunter compares the job to the Star Wars bounty hunter job

It's not the right lifestyle for everyone, says Greg Overacker. “It was terrifying. Hazardous. You may be away from home for weeks at a time. There will come a time when you will be sick of living in a hotel and never getting to see your loved ones. But I am a young man who wants adventure. I want to see things outside of my town. And being a bounty hunter offered me that…”

We're chatting with Overacker ahead of the release of the new Disney+ series The Book of Boba Fett, which further explores the famous bounty hunter's story. Today, Overacker divides his life between running the New York process for his business - serving subpoenas, summons and the like - and as an investigator private staff. In recent years, he's also worked for the nonprofit Private Investigator of Missing Persons, an organization that provides families with qualified, professional investigators in the hope that they can help. be able to successfully identify the missing or provide some form of closure for those left behind.

The foundation was founded by Bruce Maitland, whose 17-year-old daughter Brianna went missing in 2004. “It is an unfortunate reality that police have limited resources and time, and private investigators sometimes You can get answers from people who don't want to talk to the police. It is also an unfortunate fact that the cost of private investigators is beyond what most of us can afford,” Maitland said. Overacker has been trying to locate Brianna or find out what happened to her over the past 17 years.

But for a while there, Greg was out in the street. If you need a fugitive or criminal to take in? Greg is your man. You could say a real-life Boba Fett! Difficult. It is the courts that he will collect the bounty from. Not the nefarious kind like Darth Vader and Jabba the Hutt. “I have conducted myself well,” he said. “But there are people who don't. And that's where the business really gets a bad name. There are people in the business who have absolutely no business involved in it in any way, any way. People who just want to be seen as a big bang. ”

LAWYER

However, for a while - even if Overacker's code of ethics was more wholesome than the most famous Star Wars clone - work as a bounty hunter in the United States had come to equate with Boba traveling the galaxy. Or Mandalorian, Bossk, or 4-LOM's Din Djarin, or any other Star Wars bounty hunter you want to name. Whether in space or across large swaths of North America, occupation was, for a time, essentially lawless.

“It has changed a lot over the years,” Overacker said. “When I started, there were states that we called open nations. If someone says that the state is an open country, it means that there are no rules, you can go there and act as a bounty hunter without any restrictions. "

Overacker explained that, eventually, each state began to put restrictions on who could collect bail. It is unlikely that Boba Fett has ever had to give her papers to anyone. “Currently, the State of New York has a bounty hunting license through the state – even though they call it ‘money enforcement’. But if you're working as a private investigator, you're also allowed to act as a bounty hunter - because you're meeting certain threshold requirements. In some states, you must be a signed bail bail in order to be able to make an arrest. So it gets a little complicated.”

WEAPONS

This puts us in weapons. Boba Fett wouldn't get anywhere without his gloved Czerka ZX Flame projector, MM-9 Unified Kelvarek Wrist rocket, Knee Rocket Launcher, BlasTech EE-3 rifle Blaster, Sonic beam weapon, and Z -6 Jetpack armed with a concussion rocket and a grappler, Overacker will rely on nothing but a gun and his wits. Sometimes not even a gun.

“It depends on the state in which I am arresting someone,” he said. “In some states, you can't bring it - but in those states, I usually bring in someone with a gun. Criminals don't care about the law! ”

Fur clothes. Earning a carbonite bounty is also not an option for Overacker - although he does have several options at his disposal for catching someone. “You have to respect the civil rights of the recipient,” he said. “You cannot violate someone's civil rights. Being a bounty hunter doesn't give you the right to mistreat anyone. But if I'm going by car, I'll put someone in handcuffs and irons. I did it with someone I had to
