Bounty hunters are required to obey the same laws as everybody else. The stuff people do tend to think of as special powers actually aren't all that broad, and anybody else who stood surety on somebody else's bail bond has the same rights. In a sense letting somebody post your bond is a mild form of selling yourself into slavery. Or appointing that person your legal guardian if you want a nicer analogy - it really doesn't permit much a parent couldn't do to a child.

Mind you many prosecutors tend to exercise discretion and not pursue violations too vigorously, but that's a somewhat different issue.
