How Tough are Bail Bonds Enforcement Agents

How Tough are Bail Bonds Enforcement Agents

One of the biggest problems the bail bonds industry runs into is that most people have learned about the bail process from television and movies. While these interpretations of the business are exciting and make for fun viewing, they aren’t an accurate representation of the industry.

When most people hear the words bail bonds agent, they immediately conjure up an image of a big, tough guy who will stop at nothing to bring them back to jail. This is not the case at all. Yes, if you fail to make your court appearance, we won’t be happy with you, but that doesn’t mean we’ll adopt a wanted dead or alive type attitude that many people seem to expect.

First, there are limits to what we can and can’t do when you fail to make a court appearance.

The first thing to consider is that we aren’t your only problem when you skip bail. You’re also going to be in trouble with the court. They are just as irritated by your failure to show up as your bail bonds company is.

In many cases, failing to appear in court results in:

• An arrest warrant being issued
• A failure to appear charge getting filed against you
• Sometimes driver’s licenses are suspended
• The amount of any future bail will be raised, or you’ll be denied bail completely

 
When you failed to make your court appearance, the court contacts us and alerts us to the situation. At this point, we have a set time limit, usually, six months, to make sure you get to court before the court keeps the bail bond we posted.

If the business was just like television, this is the point where we would burst into your home, guns blazing, and take you down. Reality is quite different. Most of the work is done in an office using a computer and common sense. Once we’ve identified your location, we will come to talk to you.

What we’re not allowed to do is:

• Arrest everybody you’re with. You’re the only person who can be taken into custody
• Use excessive force, which includes shooting someone
• Fail to remain professional at all times
• Carry guns without the proper licenses and permits
• Break any state laws
• Put others at risk

 
If we’re unable to find you and collateral was used to help secure your bail, you will lose whatever you signed over to us. If a loved one co-signed for you, they will be responsible for covering the 90% of your bail that you essentially forfeited. All of these terms are clearly laid out in our contract.
