Answer 4

bounty hunter an old term used in the 1800's.

modern day - bail enforcement agent
this agent uses his experience to trace individuals who have jumped bond and on the run.we are bound by the laws in the states we operate in.we like police officers are required to have an arrest warrant prior to apprehending the suspect.
not all arrests make money.it's a living.most states do not allow independent bail enforcement agents hired to work for a company.
the soliciting bail agent is usually the bail enforcement agent as required in most states.this industry is regulated by the state department of insurance.we are considered officers of the court and are duty bound to uphold the laws of the court and state.
the days of the bounty hunter image is gone except in the minds of DOG.......a new professional with defensive , offensive tactical trainning is moving to the forefront of the industry.
