Why dont professionals like the term Bounty Hunter?
• Bounty Hunting refers back to the days when rewards were offered for the capture or killing of any articulated person. You should notice that in todays climate while rewards may be offered, it is only for information leading to the capture of a fugitive. Since professionals in our industry typically only work to secure the apprehension of a bail bond-secured defendant we are solely enforcing a bail contract on behalf of a surety on a bail bond. We work for professional fees, not bounties. In our industry, Bounty Hunter is increasingly being used in a derogatory manner.
