Bounty hunters have the legal right to enter a fugitive's private property without a warrant and use reasonable force to capture them. Bail bond agents, on the other hand, do not have this right and must rely on law enforcement or the services of a bounty hunter to apprehend a fugitive.
If an individual is injured by a bounty hunter, they may have a personal injury claim against the bounty hunter and the company that hired them. Similarly, neither the federal government nor most states provide laws that constrain the activities of bounty hunters.
Barring restrictions applicable state by state, a bounty hunter may enter the fugitive's legal residence without any warrant, besides the original bail bonds contract signed by the fugitive, to execute a re-arrest.
Authority of Bail Bond Agents Bail bond agents can carry firearms (like regular citizens) and make arrests in California. However, they do not have the same power as police officers to investigate crimes, enforce traffic laws, or cordon off specific areas.
