Chicago, IL

I have been interested in bail recovery for a long time. But I am a convicted felon (posession of cannabis sativa) in 1998 served little under 2 yrs. I had no other problems with the law. From what I've investigated this shouldn't be a problem, could you please verify this for me?

Thank you for your time,

Eric K.

Eric,

No, your felony record will not be a problem in IL because Illinois abolished the commercial bail bond industry several years ago and along with it, outlawed bounty hunting in your state as well. So- there are no clients and it is illegal since there is no provision in state law for apprehensions by private persons.

You're in the same boat as everyone else in IL and  I'm not exactly sure where you are getting your information as a result of your "investigation."  Probably the guys trying to fill seats in their seminars.

Your felony will prevent you from obtaining a license in every other state where one is required though.
