Here is a quick : How does it work thing


Here is how that works, when a criminal commits a crime they set a bail. This bail may be anywhere from $500 to $5,000,000 so the bondsman will take a 10% from the criminals parents or custodian. So for example, if the bail is $100,000 the bondsman will take %10 in this case $10,000 of that as a payment (this is his profit IF THE CRIMINAL GOES BACK TO JAIL) the bondsmen then pays the court $100,000.... ($10,000 from parents and $90,000 from bondsman) as a gurantee that the criminal will show up to court. If he shows up back to court he gets the $100,000 back and he makes a $10,000 profit.

Usually if a criminal skips the court date The bondsman has 60 Days to bring the fugitive back to jail or he will loose all his money in the process so he hires a bounty hunter A bounty hunter will get payed 10% of the bounty. For example if a bounty is $100,000 then the bounty Hunter will make $10,000 out of the bounty.

The bondsmen will not make any money, but at the same time, he will not loose anything. Makes sense?

Good go to the next step and lets get started.
 

Step 1 Knowing The History of "Bounty Hunting"

Originally the Term Fugitive Recovery Agent was known as Bounty Hunting, in England hundreds of years ago. Back in the 13th century, bail was a person, not an amount of money. An individual was designated custodian of the accused, and if the accused did not return to face his penalty, the custodian could be hanged in his place.

During colonial times, America relied upon the bail system set up by the government of England. In 1679, the British Parliament passed the Habeas Corpus Act, which for the first time guaranteed that an accused person could be released from prison on monetary bail

The bounty hunter was given broad authority starting in 1873 with the U.S. Supreme Court case, Taylor v. Taintor. The case gave bounty hunters the authority to act as agents of bail bondsmen. Bounty hunters on the trail of a bail jumper could "pursue him into another state" and, if necessary, "break and enter his house for that purpose."

In the wild west however, bounty hunting was used by several sheriffs by placing "Wanted Signs" in towns etc, and bounty hunters began their search to find criminals and bring them to justice, Several people and criminals were captured by Fugitive Recovery Agents and got paid accordingly For Example the Wild Bunch Gang was captured and money was awarded at $500 per Head "Dead or Alive" Now days, you MUST bring the fugitive back to justice Alive in order to make your bounty.

Today, states have their own restrictions when it comes to bounty hunting, but most states give bounty hunters the freedom to pursue and arrest bail jumpers within and across their borders. In our next Step we'll take a look at these kind of Laws for Several States.

Being that half the so-called “criminals” are prosecuted for consensual acts that violate the natural rights of nobody, one can not morally participate in any aspect of law enforcement. Today the most criminal aspect of our so-called justice system is the system itself. If one participates in our criminally unjust system, one becomes a violator of natural rights and thus a criminal and a thug. Shame on them all!

Good Luck With That........Allot of the Bondsman around Houston and I know ALLOT of them do their own recoveries. The ones they will source out are the ones that they couldn't find themselves. I was in Law Enforcement for a few years before Going Back on Active Duty and Being Disabled and have 2 Good Friends That Specialize in the "Difficult" Recoveries like overseas and Mexico. Those are a Strange but Tough couple of dudes. They actually got charged with Kidnapping and did some time in one country. Then here in the US they went to trial but beat another charge for all kinds of charges the DA went Happy Stacking on them. They had tracked a Guy for weeks found him and took him down, only problem was this dude had a Twin Brother that was a Civil Liberties Lawyer. Wow.....After that they switched to Corporate Protection. In today's world where you don't even know if the cop you run into is some kind of "Power Tripping Nazi" and doesn't like Bounty Hunters or anyone else for that matter, corporate protection is a "Sweet" Deal. They Go ALL over the World and Make serious Bank! Far more than they made Hunting and 1000 times safer.
