A bounty hunter.
Considering in the old west all bounty hunters were cowboys. The occupation hasnt changed. Nor the laws governing them, most still have rights to act outside the constraints of the law to wrangle in a fugitive
Cowboys are coming to catch an outlaw they need no warrant to enter a premises they suspect is harboring a fugitive

To want to be a cowboy is to want to kill yourself. it comes from cowboys using ropes and knowing how to tie knots, including the knot used for hanging. "cowboy" can be replaced with "sailor," as sailors are also known for knot-tying, if not more so than cowboys.
Comes from the comment section of the YouTube video, "Knots used for hanging," from YouTube channel Textbook of Knotting.

A “Cowboy” (In this specific terminology, i first heard it in Northwest Indiana) Is typically a highly-motivated Gangster from a small town anywhere in the US. Cowboys Usually grow up in there small but dangerous town gangbanging, selling drugs, and going to JDC. Now that they’re 18, They likely have a car and freedom so instead of sitting around, they hit the road for Weeks and often Months at a time, Going to other small town ghettos or big cities, Mostly to commit different crimes to make money. This helps because they’re not local, it’s harder for the police to find them and it’s easier to backdoor people they meet along the way to benefit their own pockets. Between the time they begin doing this, and the time they inevitably go to jail, They often come back to their hometown hoods to provide Money, Guns, And drugs for their people to sell and use on the streets. Stay AWAY from cowboys.
