I don't think that's clear. I am curious to see how this will be handled by the supreme court.

This methods used were actually similar to the way the old police system worked. They'd put out bounties and citizens would bring people in.

Can you think of any reasons why we moved away from that model?

I can think of plenty of reasons why a police force could be advantageous, but my point was constitutionality. I don't believe it's unconstitutional.

For reference, bail and repos are done in a similar manner and are way more intrusive (taking someones car). I don't really see your point? In this case, someone is merely sued for $10k (as opposed to jail or losing license).
