Unfortunately, this often did not end well for the one vouching, as criminals would fail to appear in court.

Now the system utilizes a person called a bondsman who puts up bail money, so the person in jail is released until trial. If the person doesn’t show up, the bondsman loses his money.

Then, the bondsman hires a bounty hunter. They could do many things a police officer can not since the bounty hunter is not official law enforcement.

After a man was killed when the bondsman entered the wrong house, states began tightening up on what bondman can legally do regarding searches, training, and so on. These rules vary state by state, with some calling them insane and some welcoming the changes.

When in need and searching for the terms” bail bondsmen near me” always check the rules for that state’s bondsmen.
