FAQ
A: In California, bail bondsmen, often referred to as bounty hunters, have specific rights under the law, but these rights are not absolute. If someone has skipped bail, a bail bondsman has the authority to apprehend them, but this authority is limited when it comes to entering a private residence.
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.
The bail bond agent will need you to sign some paperwork in order for you to secure their services. This usually means paying an amount to the agent, usually a percentage of the total bail amount, and signing off on any collateral for the bond.
Any fines, fees, and costs imposed by the court are not the responsibility of your bail bondsman. The bondsman's only job is to ensure you show up at every scheduled court date. The only time a Florida bail bondsman can apprehend and arrest you is when you don't show up at your scheduled court date.
