A question I have about Bounty Hunting Statute I am :confused:

basically from what I read it states that it is not allowed in this state?!

Although there are quite a few that skip bail, and I believe that the laws change almost as quickly as we speak of this issue.

I was just wondering if you could clarify this issue better if at all possible I would greatly appreciate it.:)

I am interested in this type of work and have read further in the forum about how to go about getting involved in this type of work,
but I would greatly appreciate your answer!

Thanks!

Bozica N. Newell :) :D

I would like to know if it's possible to be a bounty hunter here in Illionis. The reading was not so clear. Just a Yes or No will do.

There are 5 states that have out lawed bail enforcement, since they have in effect, outlawed commercial bail. Citizens can post bond directly with the courts in these jurisdictions.

The five states are Illinois, Wisconsin, Nebraska, Oregon and Kentucky.

The UCEA also applies to transporting fugitives and all states and territories have signed this agreement but two SC and MO.

Hope this clarifies,

Scott

So this law means that I can't catch a Fugitive who fled from a one state to this state, Right?
Can I at least get a warrant? What should I do legally? I mean with out getting in trouble. I just can't let a Bail Bondsman lose money for that! >:(
