What did the fugitive slave act allows southern slave owners to do? Was this fair?

Allowed slave owners to retreive slaves even if they were in "free states" and anyone who harbored runaway slaves would be fined

I don't think this was fair because if the slave made it to a free state they should be free but on the other hand, they were considered property and it would be the owners retrieving "property" kinda like if a dog ran away and was retrieved
