Bail fugitive recovery specialist

A bounty hunter tracks down fugitives for bounty. Other names, mainly used in the United States, include bail agent, bail enforcement agent, bail officer, fugitive recovery agent, fugitive recovery officer or bail fugitive recovery specialist.In the US legal system, the 1872 U.S. Supreme Court case Taylor v. Taintor, 16 Wall (83 U.S. 366, 21 L.Ed. 287), is quoted as stating that the individual into whose custody the suspect is remanded due to the bail has complete rights to catch that individual. Most bounty hunters work for a bail bondsman: the bounty hunter is paid a portion of the bail the suspect paid. If the fugitive escapes bail bond, it is the bondsman who is responsible for the remainder of the bail jumper’s bond amount, Bounty Hunter .
