Beating the bail bonds industry

Monday, March 29th, 2010

In order to bail someone out of jail as quickly as possible, you need to know a few things about the bail bonds industry beforehand. Most people don’t have a clue what they are getting themselves into, and that can often mean extra problems in the future and confusion initially.

When you need to bail someone out of jail, you’re going to want to talk to a large bail bond agency. Don’t pick a small agency or a single bondsman, and make sure they’ve got a good history of bailing people out of jail, before you talk to them. When you talk to the agency, they’re going to ask you a few specific questions. These will generally be things like the name of the arrestee and your own personal details, but bear in mind you will need proof of identification. Make sure you bring these details with you, or have them ready, when you speak to a bail bonds agency, because it’s the very first part of the bail bonds process.

Once you’ve given them your details, you’re going to need to sort out the collateral and pay the 10% premium of the bond. Make sure you take your time with this decision and talk to the agency about the different options you have. It’s important that you aren’t risking your own financial future too much.

Once you’ve done that, the arrestee will be released when possible by the jail. The next part is highly important, because you need to keep track of that person until they appear in court when summoned. If they skip out on their bail, you will have to pay the full amount of the bond, which is a horrifying prospect. Once the court date is finished, you can breathe easy, safe in the knowledge that you have beaten the bail bonds industry.

Bounty Hunting Tips

Tuesday, December 8th, 2009

If you’re thinking of becoming a bounty hunter, or you’ve been in the business for a little while, then you should know that there is never a point when you stop improving. You should always be looking for new techniques and ways to recover the fugitives you are looking for. Bounty hunting is almost an art form, and even the very best in the country recognise that there is always room for improvement. You should be talking to other bounty hunters about their techniques and the way they work, if you can find even the slightest little advantage, then you’ll be better off. Just remember that every 1% that you get better, you are exponentially smarter and more capable than the person your are trying to catch.

Building up a solid network of contacts is something that can take years to do, and often relies on experience and a good sense of community. However, you can speed the process along by taking a step back and looking at the people in your area. Is there anyone who pretty much everyone knows? Are there people who see everything that happens in the neighbourhood? If there are, you should be talking to them and building a relationship with them, these are the people are who going to make you money in the future, so be polite to them.

You should also be looking to get inside the mind of the person you are trying to catch. It’s not enough just to start wildly chasing them as soon as you get the job, you need to understand who the person is, what they are like, and where they are likely to go. You’d be surprised how stupid some criminals can be, and often they will go to the most obvious places, just because they lie slightly outside the area people normally think to look in. If you know your fugitive, you’ve got a massively increased chance of catching them. Bounty hunting is all about having an arsenal of techniques and strategies, and you need to be flexible to match the situation you are given.

New Connecticut Bill to Better Regulate Bondsman

Thursday, March 5th, 2009

The state of Connecticut is taking new measures to better regulate the bail bond industry.  Concerns about bail bondsman not charging the full premium on bail bonds is becoming a large problem for the Insurance companies and the public.  A Bail bond premium is the percentage fee charged to the defendant to be released form jail.  For instance if a bail bond is $10,000, in Florida, a fee of $1,000 must be paid for the defendants release through a bonding agency. Many bondsman in Connecticut are asking for less in the hope to gain more business.  This sort of business practice is what damages the reputation and integrity of bail bond industry.  House Bill 6354 will regulate this type of practice.  This Bill allows the insurance company to collect the entire premium form the bonding agency and then issue the commission to the bondman minus any fees due to the insurance company.  Do you think this type of regulation will help or hurt the industry.  Read the full article here.
