Content: Instead, those awaiting trial will often work with a bond agency, who posts their bail in exchange for a fee. They’ll also need to put up some collateral, like a house. According to the National Association of Fugitive Recovery Agents, bounty hunters step in if that person skips out on their bail (i.e. becomes a fugitive and doesn’t show up for their court hearing, thus breaking the terms of their bail bond). In this case, the bail company loses the bail money paid, so they contract a bail enforcement agent to apprehend the fugitive and recover some of their costs. Fugitive recovery agents spend the early days of each contract collecting information. They need to know everything they can to help track down the fugitive, including things like name, last known address, Social Security number, birthday, contacts, family members and the make, model and license plate number of their car. After obtaining the information, the bail enforcement agent will make a plan of action, which typically includes interviewing contacts to track the person down. Since bounty hunters aren’t cops, they’re allowed to be sneaky and deceptive, but they still have to follow the law. For example, it’s illegal to impersonate a law enforcement officer in every state, so they cannot lawfully capture a figurative by those means. Trespassing laws also differ, as does the ability to carry a firearm.
