No. Whether the state allows "bounty hunters' or not, is immaterial. If the persons name is in the National Crime Information Computer system he will eventually be found by police and extradited back to the state of his offense. All states and US possessions honor each other's requests for extradition. Additional note: "bounty hunters" are usually hired by bail bondsmen who had put up the fleeing suspects bail money. You can bet your life that 'legal' or not, they will find you and recover the bond money they fronted for you. A fugitive from another state can be arrested in Illinois on an out of state warrant by the police. They will arrest that individual and then notify the state that issued the warrant and then hold the individual until the other state either picks up the arrestee or declines to exercise extradition.

In a state like Illinois where bounty hunters are not allowed, a fugitive may have less risk of being apprehended by a private individual acting as a bounty hunter. However, it doesn't mean they are entirely safe. Law enforcement agencies still have the authority to pursue and apprehend fugitives in such states. It is important for fugitives to understand that fleeing from the law is not a long-term solution and could have serious legal consequences.

Did the fugitive slave act allow slave hunters to retrieve slaves from Massachusetts?
Yes, the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850 empowered slave hunters to retrieve escaped slaves from free states like Massachusetts and return them to their owners in slaveholding states. The law required citizens and law enforcement officials in free states to assist in capturing and returning runaway slaves, leading to increased tensions and resistance in these states.

Why did antislavery groups in the North oppose the Fugitive Slave Act?
Abolitionists were a group of people who were ardently against the practice of slavery. This is key to understanding their disagreement of the Fugitive slave act. The fugitive slave act was part of the compromise of 1850 which sought to fix the short comings of the Missouri compromise. It established the practice of popular sovereignty to decide whether or not an incoming state would be a slave state or a free state. The fugitive slave act itself required that any slave that escaped from a slave state and into a free state was required by law to be returned to their owner. It also empowered bounty hunters to capture escaped slaves to collect on their bounties. However what this did was allow bounty hunters to capture many free African Americans and claim that they were a slave. For not only being forced to tolerate slaver but to actually aid the practice abolitionists were upset. However this emotion was only deepened by the fact that many free men were being taken as slaves.

Would a bounty hunter be considered a peace officer since they are and can be armed. They arrest fugitives and are under the supreme court laws?
Unless a bounty hunter was already a peace officer, he does not become one by virtue of being a bounty hunter. A bounty hunter is a private citizen. He may carry a firearm only in the manner allowed a private citizen. Programs such as "Dog the Bounty Hunter" have glorified these people and encouraged false assumptions about their authority, training and conduct. Bounty hunters are largely untrained, unlicensed and unregulated. They frequently find themselves at odds with local law enforcement officers when they use force to apprehend fugitives and don't have the necessary paperwork. The tactical vests, "Bail Recovery Agent" badges and other gear popular with these folks can be had from any number of catalog and online merchants. One should question any credential available to anyone with an address and a credit card. I don't know of a law enforcement agency that would allow one of their peace officer employees to work as a bounty hunter. Law enforcement officers routinely apprehend fugitives, but as a part of their regular duties and not for any "bounty" or other special reward. Law enforcement officers are generally ineligible for rewards posted for the apprehension of wanted persons.
